You're trying to access an MS Access database that has a different bit configuration (32 or 64) than your PowerBI desktop (also in 32 or 64 bit configuration).  You can either:

1.  Change your PowerBI desktop application to the other version, or

2.  Find out how to use 32-bit MS Access with 64-bit PowerBI - it can be done and the instuctions are out there.  Try http://exceleratorbi.com.au/64-bit-power-bi-desktop-32-bit-office-can-do/
