I published a report/dataset from PBI desktop to PBI Service. The datamodel is made up of a mix of access db, xlsx, and direct import from sql server db. I used the instructions from the link below to get get it working in desktop:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-access-database-errors/
Unfortunately with the report published to PBI service, and personal gateway running, I get this error:
