I just started learning power BI and i am not able to import the access file into Power BI. I was able to import the excel and CSV files of Lab 1 into power BI. Please what am i not doing right?
If you’re importing data from Access database to Power BI Online Service, it’s not supported currently.
If you’re using desktop, you can connect to Access database from Power BI Desktop by using “Get data>More>Database>Access database” option.
Please refer to the official document for trouble shooting when you connecting the access via desktop: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-access-database-errors
