Is there a contact line I can reach to speak with someone about this issue? Messaging can be a bit delaying and I really haven't put in much study time because of this issue. Thanks for all your help.

Hi nceziakor,

 

What is the data source do you want to connect? 

 

Besides, I cannot see your screenshots, you could post it as a photo in the reply box.

 

 

 

Best Regards,

Cherry

    I can not upload screenshot through the photos as I keep getting an error when I do. Please is there anyone I can talk to on phone about my issue or on instant messaging somehow to help resolve me issue quickly. I have just about a month left with this class and I am still unable connect to the access database needed to work on my labs for the class. Whenever I connect to the access database on the PowerBI program through 'get data' and selecting the acess database I downloaded from the classroom. I constantly receive this error message.

     

    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 'PowerBI1.accdb'. To download the client software, visit the following site: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=285987."

     

    I have tried everything possible, I have downloaded the 64-bit version and even tried simply importing the date into PowerBI and I receive another error mesage that the file is corrupt. Please I really need someone to help me on this matter on phone or via hangouts to help troubleshoot. Thanks for all your help.
