Dataset refresh issue in PowerBI Service using direct query

Hi,

 

We have build a report using direct query in PowerBI Desktop. The data being used is in an SQL server, and once we hit refresh in the desktop-environment, the data refreshes correctly.

 

When we publish the report to the PowerBI Online service, the data is not being refreshed. We use a data gateway which is setup and working correctly:

 

 

 

But even after a refresh, the data doesn't correspond with the data in the SQL server. Hitting the refresh button on the report doesn't update the data, while refreshing the data in the desktop version does update and mimics the SQL Server data.

Is there any reason why the refresh of the PowerBI Online version is not working, do I have to set some specific setting. Even after the hour-cache refresh, which seems to work correctly, threre is no change is data. We update our SQL server twice per day, and the update is not reflected after the update of SQL Server data (it works in desktop, but not online).

I checked the table and the direct query output has roughly 3000 records, so I don't believe there is a limitiation-issue.

 

Any help would be appreciated!!
