  • Before I had Access 32 Bit & Power BI 64 Bit
  • I uninstalled the Whole Office and Installed Office 64 bit including Access 
    I installed the Access Database Engine for 64 Bit
    Still facing same problem

Hi @nadir ,

You could check if the privacy level settings in Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service are same firstly.

 

In Power BI Desktop:

Options and Settings --> Data Source Settings

For every Datasource: -->  Edit Permissions

Set Privacy Level: e.g. „Organizational“

 

Power BI Service:

Datasets --> (Choose you Datasets which does not update properly) --> settings --> Gateway Connection --> Actions --> (expand you cluster to show all Data Sources) --> (Choose relevant Datasource) --> Advanced Settings --> Privacy setting --> set same level (e.g. „Organizational) as in Power BI Desktop
