Power BI not refreshing web data sources

Hi

I have about 5 web data sources in a Power BI report.  All anonomous access.  The Power BI service cannot refresh these data sources and I get the error below:

 

Something went wrong
There was an error when processing the data in the dataset.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.

The data sources refresh in Power BI desktop.  

 

Anyone got an idea on where to look to resolve this?

Thanks

@Gerhardvdw  You can try with enterprise gateway. Go to manage gateways, then add a new data-source. It should work.

Use the Power BI gateway and add the web source.

Hi 

Thanks for the response, but the Power BI service is not allowing me to use the gateway (Personal) 

I see the following on the gateway settings in the Service.
