Hi @Anonymous ,
I'm loading Access database to power bi from Sharepoint online drive via share point folder. I've already installed Access Database Engine 2016 OLEDB on my machine. But I need to configure from share point online because I don't want to use on prem gateway. In power bi desktop its working perfectly fine but its not refreshing data on web service. Where the connection is between Access database (Sharepoint folder) to power bi.
Can anyone please respond?
