Gateway Connection Required Despite Getting Content from Azure Database

[Anonymous]

My coworker is able to publish our report that imports data from Azure SQL database as am I. I use the same data but in a different report however when I publish my report I need a Gateway to schedule a refresh while he does not. This is weird because according to the Microsoft Document below, Azure SQL Database does not require a gateway:

The credentials I am using to access the data are the Database credentials. What could be the cause?

@Anonymous  Have you added any other data to the report? Another file, manually entered data, etc? Or is it specifically just using the Azure SQL DB data?

Hi,

Actually, yes. I just realized that it probably was the excel file located on my hard drive. Thank you for your response.

Thanks!
