Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Do you mean to connect database on Power BI Service like do it in Power BI Desktop?

That's not supported I suppose.

If I misunderstood your meaning, please share more details.

 

Best Regards,

To clarify are you wanting to refresh a power bi dataset in the service using data from an on premise data source?

 

If so you need to install Microsoft On Premise Gateway and that will let you do it:
