I am trying to get data from an access file with a linked table.
But I don’t see those tables when I load into power BI. Can you help me?
Solved! Go to Solution.
It is because those are not Access tables. You are displaying the Access navigation pane - it shows the tables - but the icon of the Globe with arrow means that Access is in turn linking to another ODBC database. These are not tables that reside within Access.
You must link your PBI direct to that same back end database.
