Since I am very new to App.powerbi.com, my issue is easy to fix. I installed personal gateway, It is running and there seems to be no issues with it. Within PowerBI, under magae gateways, my test connections are fine and my Data Source connection shows successful. When i try to do a data refresh, it doesn't appear that anything happens other then throwing an error. the message is:
Your data gateway (Power BI – personal) is offline or couldn't be reached.
Please try again later or contact support. If you contact support, please provide these details.
Processing errorYour data gateway (Power BI – personal) is offline or could not be reached. Ensure the gateway computer is on and you are logged on to it during the scheduled refresh period.

I am pretty sure that me gateway is online and everything i see indicates that i should be able to refresh.
I appreciate any insight that you may provide. Perhaps my understanding of what is available without signing up for Power BI pro is lacking. Thanks in advance
