Hello,
The backgroud information is, I have an XLS file on our SharePoint Online. At the begining, I use "SharePoint Folder" as the data source and navigate to my file. On my Power BI Desktop, I can build my report and even refresh my data without any problem.
The problem comes after I published it on Powerbi.com. I entered my OAth2 Credential and used the direct connect method. However, the system returns the following message:Excel Workbook: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. The 64-bit version of the Access Database Engine 2010 Access Database Engine OLEDB provider is required to connect to read this type of file. To download the client software, visit the following site: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=285987.
But we all know that it is a direct connect, and it is the Power BI server that does the refresh job, there's no way I can install the connector there...
I also tried to switch the data source to "Web" (Like how we connect to a data from OneDrive for Business), but I still get the same error.
Did anyone run into the simliar error?
Thank you,
Matthew
