Hi @ashshiv_123 ,

If I understand correctly, it seems that you got the error message when you tried to connect Access in Power BI Desktop. Am I right? First, please install the client software(Northwind.accdb) which refer in the error message popup.  Then make sure you have installed the Access Database Engine. And the bit version of Access Database Engine should match your Power BI Desktop version. You can refer the following links to make troubleshooting and try to solve the problem.
