on-premises gateway offline but running

[Anonymous]

I have created a PowerBI model in Desktop app on the same machine where the SQL server is hosted. I have been using Import from the SQL Server so all the data is contained in the pbix file.

I now wish to setup a scheduled refresh so the PowerBI model updates with new records as the SQL server gets new data.

I have installed the On-premise gateway in the PowerBI web app, and it says Connection Successful under ‘Add Data Source’. But here I am stuck. Do I then go back into PowerBI and click ‘Publish to PowerBI’?

If I do that,  the Dataset  shows in PowerBI Web, but how do you make it use the On-premise gateway?

At the moment when I go to Settings – Datasets - I am getting the error:

Your data gateway (Power BI – personal) is offline. To set refresh scheduling, make sure your gateway is online.

It says (offline, running)

Do I have to change anything in the PowerBI Desktop file? Or what else could I be missing here?

Hi @Anonymous you have to make sure that both your Power BI Desktop Filename for your SQL Server Source, and the name you create in the Power BI Service (App) have the same names. They are case sensitive so they have to be identical in how they are named.

As you can see from the Image above for my Power BI Desktop File the Server name is SQLServer, so when I create the dataset on the Web, the name Must be idential for it to work, and to be able to select it.

Awesome, thanks guavaq. It was just the filenames. Working perfectly now.
