Power BI Integration Help
We connect Power BI to your data—SQL, cloud, on-prem—and stabilize refresh with proper gateway configuration.
Common Issues We Fix
Gateway Offline
Gateway not responding or appearing disconnected
Credentials & Privacy Levels
Authentication errors and privacy setting conflicts
Query Folding
Transformations not pushing to source database
Long Refresh Times
Datasets taking hours to refresh instead of minutes
API Throttling
Rate limit errors from REST APIs and web sources
Incremental Refresh Setup
Configuring partitions and parameters correctly
Sources We Connect
SQL Server
Azure SQL
Synapse
Snowflake
Databricks
SharePoint
OneDrive
REST APIs
Files (CSV, Excel, JSON)
How It Works
Assess Topology
Map your data sources, network architecture, and current connection patterns.
Configure Gateway & Credentials
Install or repair gateways, set up service accounts, and configure authentication.
Optimize Queries & Refresh
Implement query folding, incremental refresh, and performance tuning.
Monitor
Set up alerts, document configurations, and validate stable operation.
Outcomes
Reliable Refresh Windows
Predictable refresh schedules that complete on time, every time, with automated monitoring.
Fewer Failures
Proper authentication, privacy levels, and gateway configuration eliminate common error patterns.
Documented Connection Patterns
Clear documentation of credentials, gateways, and configurations for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support personal vs enterprise gateways?
Yes, we work with both personal and enterprise gateways. However, we strongly recommend enterprise (on-premises data) gateways for production environments due to better high-availability, performance, and administrative controls.
Can you help with on-prem and VPN configurations?
Yes. We work collaboratively with your IT team to align networking configurations, VPN settings, firewall rules, and service account permissions needed for stable gateway connectivity to on-premises data sources.
Do you set up incremental refresh?
Yes. We configure incremental refresh including range parameters, partition policies, and data source query optimization to dramatically reduce refresh times for large datasets.
What access is required?
We need temporary least-privilege accounts for the Power BI service and a test workspace where we can validate connections without affecting production. We'll document all configuration changes and hand off admin access when complete.
