Hello,
I originally had Power BI 64 bit and Office 32 bit and was trying to get a connection to file https://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/xls/psw18vwall.xls
It did not work out because of the .xls file format, and I solved the issue by changing my Power BI version to 32 bit.
Now I am able to connect to the data source and everything works fine in Power BI Desktop.
However, when I try to refresh the report in the Power BI website, I get the following error message:
Last refresh failed: Fri May 19 2017 12:04:33 GMT+0300 (FLE Daylight Time)
Cannot connect to the mashup data source. See error details for more information.Hide details

I don't understand why 64-bit version of the Access Database Engine 2010 Access Database Engine OLEDB provider is required!
I have checked the mentioned website and followed the instructins (all now 32 bit) but still not working.
I don't want to install Office 64 bit since not all other Office add-ons of my workplace work with 64 bit version.
What to try next?
