    Due to the limitations of other business applications that may not have been upgraded or can not be upgraded, many business users are forced to stay with a 32-bit Windows.

    By limiting the Personal gateway to only 64-bit, it prevents the use of this feature by those that may be best argue for upgrades to other applications by using Power BI to show the metrics and other data to make the business case for being current.

    Very frustrating as I need a 32bit office install and have completed migrated from Access over to SQL to help resolve the issue... all up until the point of Auto refresh and now I am back in the same issue. Needs fixing asap please.

    All Pegasus Opera II, Opera 3 and Operations II (there are thousands of installations of these) software packages are currently 32 bit. It will take at least 5 to 10 years I imagine for these all to move to SQL and they need Power BI now!. They can then migrate to SQL simply and still use power BI.

    Very much needed as our company only provides 32 bit ODBC drivers

    We look forward to MS creating a 32 bit online services data gateway environment to support Progress and other data sources via odbc.

    It is vital to support 32 bit because many infrastructures are still using this platform.

    I think of accounting softwares for example that provide only a 32 bit ODBC driver and for which we need to build Power BI reports.
    The incoherence is that you can build a report in Power BI Desktop and publish it on the web. But you cannot create a Gateway. Why?

    This is very limiting and should be addressed ASAP!
