Refresh Error Message

I am using a SharePoint Online list as my datasource. I've updated the list so I want to refresh the data in PowerBI. When I do I get the following error message:

 

The provider 'Microsoft.PowerBI.OleDb' is not registered. The following system error occurred: Class not registered

 
I had no problems a couple of weeks ago refreshing my data. I have checked that I have the most up-to-date version of PowerBI Desktop. How can I fix this?

I was able to export from the website version and import into the desktop version of PowerBI Pro.

 

I no longer am getting the refresh error, so your solution worked! Thanks.

I downloaded a version of PowerBI Pro Desktop and while I can see it's connected to the data, all my reports are gone!!!!

 

The reports still show up correctly in the web version. Do I have to recreate all my reports? That's a lot of work.

 

I know I can publish from Desktop to Web, but can I do the opposite?
