I'm hoping I'm missing something but here's the scenario I encounter when trying to set up Enterprise Gateway.
I built a simple Power BI Dektop file that pulls data from an Excel stored on our company's W drive.
I publish this to PowerBI.com
I have Enterprise Gateway installed, so I set up a data set. It won't allow me to use W:\ so I have to use the full UNC \\ABC-SRV-XYZ\\ etc
Then I need to go back to my PBI Desktop file and change my W: drive source reference to the full UNC, then re-publish.
Then I can select the Enterprise Gateway data source via Scheduled Refresh.
Is this common / are there alternatives?
