This post is also available in: Deutsch Many times, I’m creating a report in Power BI Desktop with data from a website. As an example, let’s imagine we create a report and load the population by country from this Wikipedia page. I’m loading data in Power Query from the web and at one point I am publishing my report to the Power BI Service. Option to schedule refresh is disabled After publishing the report, I want to schedule the report. But when I want to schedule the refresh, the settings look like that: Why is the scheduled refresh section grayed out? I don’t see any hint why this would be. But there is one spot that gives you a hint. When you try to refresh the data manually, you will see an error: And when you click on it, you will see the details: Error message mentions gateway The error message is a little confusing, why does Power BI complain about a gateway?

OR logic not always the correct one Sometimes, however, there are situations in which this is not the desired behavior. Let’s say we want to identify customers who bought “Product A” while also buying “Product C”. In such a case, I would like to select both products in the slicer. As a result, only those customers who have purchased both products should be displayed in a table.For such a case I need an AND logic for my slicer.
