excel import

[VKoch93]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Power BI Desktop and have problems with importing data from an excel file.

It has nothing to do with the size of the data or the format because I've created a test file with only 3 columns and 4 rows. 

I've selected a file from my desktop, PowerBi can also identify the work sheets but when I try to load the sheet I get an error message. Unfortunately the screenshot is in German so I believe that it won't be helpful. But translated it says the following:

Error while saving changes on the server. Returned error: "the provider 'Microsoft.PowerBI.OleDb' is not registered. System error: class not registered. A connection with the data source named "91a1692b-dbae-4dd4-93a6-e807efe55b61' could not be established.

Can someone tell me what is going on here? How can I fix this?

Hope to hear from you.

Greetings

Some have solved it with uninstall/reinstall.

I'm selecting the excel file and Power BI also identify the work sheets with data. But everytime I'm trying to import the file, I get an error message. Unfortunately the screenshot is in German so I guess it won't be very helpful. But translated it says the following:

Error while saving changes on the server. Returned error: "the provider 'Microsoft.PowerBI.OleDb' is not registered. System error: class not registered. A connection to the data source named "91a1692b-dbae-4dd4-93a6-e807efe55b61" could not be established.

Does someone know this issue? What can I do?
