Unable to connect
We encountered error while trying to connect
Details: "Microsoft Access: 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 may be required to read 'Database1.accdb'. To download the client software, visit the following site: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=285987."
The issue should be caused by no access engine has been installed or the bit version of power bi desktop is different from bit version of access engine.
