Gateway Connection

Power BI

Gateway Connection :

→ Upgrade your free account on the Power BI Service from Free to Pro version

→ To upgrade, just click on the "Try Pro for Free". Let's see the difference between the free and pro version

→ The first difference is that you can create Apps and a new workspace

→ Next, we will install the gateway. Please note that the gateway can be installed in the free version too, but the schedule refresh can't be set

→ Goto Datasets, and click on the Gateway connection - Install now

Types of gateways

There are two different types of gateways, each for a different scenario:

On-premises data gateway allows multiple users to connect to multiple on-premises data sources. You can use an on-premises data gateway with all supported services, with a single gateway installation. This gateway is well-suited to complex scenarios with multiple people accessing multiple data sources.
On-premises data gateway (personal mode) allows one user to connect to sources, and can’t be shared with others. An on-premises data gateway (personal mode) can be used only with Power BI. This gateway is well-suited to scenarios where you’re the only person who creates reports, and you don't need to share any data sources with others.

There are four main steps for using a gateway.

→ Download and install the gateway on a local computer.

→ Configure the gateway based on your firewall and other network requirements.

→ Add gateway admins who can also manage and administer other networks

→ Use the gateway to refresh an on-premises data source.

Troubleshoot the gateway in case of errors.

Difference Between Calculated Column And Measure

Power BI Difference Between Calculated Column And Measure Calculated Column / Measure : Calculated Column : A calculated column is an extension of a table using a DAX formula that is evaluated for each row. If you are accustomed to using Excel, you will remember that in Excel you often need to copy a formula for each cell of a new column, unless you format your range as a table. This results in each cell potentially having a different formula because of different cell references. When you write a calculated column formula, it is automatically applied to the whole table and evaluated individually for each row. Note: The Total summation value does not give correct values in calculated columns Example : Cal is Table name caluculated_Column = cal[cost]/cal[sales] caluculatedMeasure = SUM(cal[cost])/SUM(cal[sales]) Here Total sales/ Total Cost value gives 0.90 in measure 21/19 = 0.90 Where as in calculated column gives 5.00 wrong results sumx_Measure = SUM...
