I don't believe that there is a solution for this...today.

Re: How to configure On-premises Gateway to SharePoint Folder source
You don't need to include it as a data source in your On-Premis Gateway.
Under Gateway Connection, select "Connect directly" then under Data Source Credentials set your sharepoint online credentials using OAuth2 authentication method.
you should be able to refresh or schedule the refresh of your dataset using this configuration.

On-Premise Data Gateway Install Error
Sorry if this is a repeat.
Today I installed the personal gateway and then immediately got an error that stated the version I installed was going to be phased out next week. It pointed me to another version (link).
And that install failed with the following error:
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The operation was canceled by the user
at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start()
at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
at Microsoft.DataProxy.EgwInstallBA.ProgressViewModel.ApplyComplete(Object sender, ApplyCompleteEventArgs e)
The Failed message also said "Learn More" and that was a 404 not found article.
Any assistance is great! Thanks!

Re: Datasource error - unable to convert
Hello, Lydia!
Thank you for your quick answer. As the "Changed Type" steps were not available under APPLIED STEPS, the solution I managed to come to was to reach out to the database manager and have him change the necessary columns from "string" to "integer".
As he explained, it is bad business having any of the columns go to "string" format like this anyway, so we were able to fix it and got my import up and running.
It is weird though, that Power BI doesn't import the rest of the table and just leave these fields to errors. Really defeats the purpose since the problematic columns might not be necessary anyway.
Cheers

Re: Google Analytics Request failed (403) Error
Had the same error this morning (CET) and now. On two different machines.
Frustrating as I'm working on a new blog entry about GA and Wordpress...

Re: Insightly Dates
As a potential workaround before they address this issue, can you not transform these columns in Query mode?

Re: Google Analytics Request failed (403) Error
I had the same problem, found the answer in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN5ch2hUS7s
The video describes the problem (and why it happens) between the 1:30 and 6:40 time points. It helped me to watch the whole thing, but if you're impatient the actual solution starts at the 8:45 time point.
Here's a summary:
CAUSE: By default, Power BI attempts to pull ALL data from GA...that could mean thousands or millions of records that you don't actually need, but they count against your daily quota.
SOLUTION: Use filter(s) to reduce the amount of data you’re pulling from Google Analytics to Power BI. Filter the query to only pull the date range you need.
IMPORTANT BEST PRACTICE: Use specific dates to define your desired date range in the query filter. Don't use presets like "This Month" or "Last Month" This ensures you're filtering on the datastream from the GA datacube instead of a locally cached subsample. The video explains this between 9:45 and 12:30.

Re: Changing Data Sources(OneDrive Excel and XML) and data credentials not reflecting
I am not able to reproduce your issue. After I change data source in PBIX file and publish PBIX file to replace existing dataset, the file paths in Power BI Service also change.
Which file path do you change to?

Re: Insightly Dates
Hey brndnr,
thanks for your answer, I'm not sure how to do this. can you please elaborate?

Re: Insightly Dates
Download a copy of your report and then open it using the desktop version of Power Bi. Once it's opened, go to Edit Queries, then select the data set that you are referring to. Select one of the columns that isn't in the right format, then select the 'Transform' ribbon at the top of the window. In the 'Any Column' menu, try change the data type to what you feel that column should be (date?). You can also play around with the 'Date & Time Column' at the top.
If this is working as-is, your column should automatically changed to the dates you need. Bear in mind there may be a difference in timezone ortime format, which you can attack in a different way. This may not be the case, just something worthwhile checking. See how you go

Re: Insightly Dates
Hey brndnr,
thanks for your answer.
I'm not able to download the report as you described.
please see the next screenshot:
I think it's because this dataset is through Power BI app

Re: On-Premise Data Gateway Install Error
Please download Power BI on-premises gateway(personal mode) and install it following the guide in this official article.
If you still get errors, please share the setup log here. The log can be found in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\On-premises_data_gateway_(personal_mode)_*.log.

What error message do you get in Power BI Desktop? I would recommend you review the example in the blog below to connect to Yahoo fantasy sports API with Power Query.

Re: Excel table add to data model and Power BI automatic refresh?
Copy the data of excel(file1) table and paste it in another excel file(file2), then use PowerPivot->Manage->Get External Data->From other sources-> Excel file option in to connect to file2 in file1, after that, upload file1 to OneDrive.
In Power BI Service, connect to file1 to create report, then use personal gateway to refresh your dataset. The whole process is similar as that described in the following similar thread.

Re: How to configure On-premises Gateway to SharePoint Folder source
Hi
This just works for applications that have as data source only Sahrepoint files, ok?
In my case, I have Sharepoint and SQL sources.
Thanks

Re: Excel table add to data model and Power BI automatic refresh?
I know it
but its not an option.
the file and the powerbi reports & dashboards are in a apps in powerbi shared within the company.
we cant use the personnal gateway to maintain it.
