Thanks in advance.
Supposing you're talking about configuring a data source for Access DB in the "manage gateways" option in Power BI Service, as Access DB is a file and when creating a datasource, choose "File" as "Data Source Type" and type the "full path" with the actual file path.
@Eric_Zhangthanks for your reply but that did not work. It is throwing error " Details: "Invalid connection credentials."Hide details"
