You publish a Power BI report to the Power BI service. The report's semantic model retrieves data by using DirectQuery from three separate data sources: an Azure SQL Database that is publicly accessible, a CSV file stored in a SharePoint Online document library, and a SQL Server database hosted on-premises. To ensure that the report can retrieve data from all sources when viewed in the Power BI service, for which of the data sources must you configure an on-premises data gateway?
Power BI service can connect natively to cloud data sources without using a gateway. Azure SQL Database and files stored in SharePoint Online are cloud-hosted, so the service reaches them directly when it performs DirectQuery or a refresh. Any data source that is located inside a private network-such as an on-premises SQL Server instance-cannot be contacted directly by the Power BI service. An on-premises data gateway (standard or personal) is required to provide a secure outbound connection from the private network to the Power BI service for that source. Therefore, only the on-premises SQL Server database needs to be added to a gateway; the other two sources do not.
