Hi,
I am trying to refresh my data that is connected to a microsoft access database through a gateway. When I click refresh, I receive the error message below:
{"error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","pbi.error":{"code":"DM_GWPipeline_Gateway_MashupDataAccessError","parameters":{},"details":[{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorCode","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingErrorMessage","detail":{"type":1,"value":"Unspecified error"}},{"code":"DM_ErrorDetailNameCode_UnderlyingHResult","detail":{"type":1,"value":"-2147467259"}},{"code":"Microsoft.Data.Mashup.ValueError.Detail","detail":{"type":1,"value":"Bluesheet be.accdb"}},{"code":"Microsoft.Data.Mashup.ValueError.Reason","detail":{"type":1,"value":"DataFormat.Error"}}],"exceptionCulprit":1}}} Table: tblErrorCodes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @PHLEX ,
Try using a personal mode gateway
On-premises data gateway - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
- To edit the contents of the file, navigate to \\server\folder\file.accdb
- To allow PowerBI to use the file and obtain data, navigate to http://server/folder/file.accdb
You can refer to this thread:

Crazy as it sounds the gateway must be able to WRITE to the access db location.
Best to move your data to a more suitable storage solution. That way you can avoid having to install legacy drivers on the gateway cluster members.
Share feedback directly with Fabric product managers, participate in targeted research studies and influence the Fabric roadmap.
