Power BI upload failure

Hi

 

One of the end users in my office has trouble in importing data from an Excel sheet to Power BI.

 

Please find the details of the issue in the link below.

What has gone wrong and what can we do to fix this?

    Power BI Desktop needs Access Database Engine Redistributable for XLS Files

    In short:  if your Power BI Desktop version is not the same CPU architecture type like your Office installation, you’ll need to install the Access Database Engine runtime.

    The download for MS Access Database Engine Redistributable can be found here. Be sure to check the same version as your Power BI Desktop is installed!

     

    Best Regards,

    Lin
