I have a Power BI report that gets its data from an Excel file. This report is developed in PowerBi desktop app and published to the Dashboard and from then I share it to a public website. It's been working perfectly for the past 2 years and I update the excel sheet on a monthly basis, republish the report again to the website.
But the last time I published it to the web, it shows "This content isn't available" on the website.
It seems as if the report is now looking for credentials for the excel file. When I go to the datasource settings, Privacy Level is set tot None. (always has been)
When I want to refresh the datasource PowerBI in the browser (after publishing from the desktop), it gives the following message:
Nothing changed on my side during the previous publish to web and the current publish to web, but it gives an error now. Where/how can I fix this?
Hi, if your excel file resides on a local path you need to download and configure a Gateway a gateway so Power BI can refresh smoothly.
Hope will help

Thank you pceglie - I am just wondering, did something change on Power Bi the last 2 months, because it used to work perfectly without a gateway
