Hi
Answers inline to your questions:
- Should we download and configure the gateway onto the Azure server which hosts the cube rather than somewhere on-prem?
- Either should work. Do you have the Azure server machine and the machine that has the Gateway connected to a domain? They both need to be part of domains. Not nessecarly the same domain, since you can use UPN mapping to map them. Learn more here:

- Which type of gateway should we use - Personal or Enterprise?
- For SSAS you need Enterprise gateway.
- Do we need PowerBI Pro to do this?
- Yes.
- When we share I have read that readers of the Dashboard would also need PowerBI Pro to view the data? If this is the case then this is not a viable solution for us as we cannot create dashboards for our clients that require them to maintain a PowerBI Pro licence to use them - what are my options?
- Any dashboard built using pro-content (content that requires pro license) needs a pro-license to view it. This is the only option to get your on-prem data access.
Hope this helps!
