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 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?
