Refreshing Power BI with Access as Database - excel

My Team is working with Power BI, where we use a Report Server and the Cloud. For one Power Bi file, we connected some Excel Sheets and a Access File. Everything is fine. The upload on every Server is working. Nonetheless, if we try to refresh the Power BI file there is a certain error.
If we try to refresh the PowerBI File in the report server the error is:
SessionID : a63570ad-2411-4b53-b9ce-6a969cb00c97
[0] -1055784932 : DataFormat.Error: Unspecified error. Project_Acquisition_Overview_AE-BE_current.accdb. ;Unspecified error. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface.
[1] -1055129594 : The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.
[2] -1055784932 : The command has been canceled.. The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface.
If we try to refresh the PowerBi file via the Cloud the error is following:

Does someone have an idea what could be the problem?

The following on-premise data sources can NOT be used with Power BI Cloud
SAP BW
SAP HANA
ODBC
Access DB / Legacy Excel files (.xls)
This means that Access DB cannot be refreshed in the Power BI Cloud.

How to Import Tally data to Power BI using ODBC

I trying to import tally data to Power BI using ODBC. I have create multiple accounts in tally ERP9. This data connected in ODBC data source 64bit. After that connection, I am trying to access this data in power bi using Get data option. But I have not access any tally data. Here shows error is "ODBC: An error occurred but no ODBC error information was available.".
I am followed below steps-
1.Install Power BI Desktop application, Tally ERP 9.0.
2.Create Ledger accounts in Tally.
3.Connect tally data to ODBC data source 64bit.
4.Go to power bi Desktop application. Click on "Get Data" option.
5.Choose ODBC option, click on tally_9000 and enter credentials of database. After entering credentials click on "Connect" button.
But I have not access any tally data. Here shows error is "ODBC: An error occurred but no ODBC error information was available.". Also, I am trying it in Excel but shows same error there.

error while refreshing power bi repport:ODBC: ERROR [08S01] [Microsoft][Hardy] (115) Connection failed with error: SSL_read: error code: 0

hello everyone i'm facing this errors many times while i'm trying to refresh my power bi repport in power bi services "ODBC: ERROR [08S01] [Microsoft][Hardy] (115) Connection failed with error: SSL_read: error code: 0 " the data source is azure databricks and i'm using the spark connector.
I have already connected to databricks using power bi desktop without any problems, the problem is after i have published my repport on power bi services and i scheduled the refresh of my data, often the data refresh without any problem often it gives me the error above .
As enough information is not provided with this question, it is difficult to find the exact cause of the error.

You can use Databricks Partner Connect to connect a cluster with Power BI Desktop.

Why does LibreOffice base, Microsoft Excel and Tableau require unnecessary permission to query table data from bigquery?

I have a BigQuery instance and I have shared a view with a service account. This service account has the "bigQuery.User" role. I setup Simba ODBC drivers on my Ubuntu machine, installed Libreoffice base on it and also modified the odbc.ini file to use the above service account. I'm able to connect to Bigquery but when I try to query the shared view, it throws an error saying that "user does not have BigQuery.tables.create permission for table ...". Looks like LibreOfficeBase Base is trying to create some temp tables. Tried with MS Excel and same error is thrown
My questions:
Isn't the "bigQuery.User" role enough to query data from shared datasets/tables?
Why does Libre Office Base require such extra permissions?
What I tried:
I shared the data with a user account(someuser#gmail.com). I gave the same role i.e. bigQuery.user to this account. I was able to query data successfully from this account.
I also tried on Tableau. Tableau has native support for Bigqyuery and also supports ODBC connections(to connect BigQuery, MySql, etc). I tried with both i.e. connecting to Bigquery using Tableau native BigQuery support and using ODBC connection. It worked with native BigQuery but not with ODBC connection(maybe it has the same issue as LibreOffice base and MS Excel)

PowerBI Azure refresh not working, data not updated

I have power bi configured on Azure, a dataset reading its data from excel document which is updated on daily basis.
The refresh is done manually through powerbi desktop. After I click on refresh, my reports and dashboards are reading updated figures, I open it from power bi desktop; however if I open it from any browser, data is not updated, I will have to publish my power bi reports and dashboards from power bi desktop publish button in order to see my data updated from browser.
Power BI desktop is the development tool for powerbi.com, after you have published it to powerbi.com, it has no relation with your offline .pbix file. Publishing it again (with the same name), will overwrite the file with it's data.
So a local refresh in power bi desktop has no influence on the file in powerbi.com
If you want that powerbi.com can read data from your excel file (on Premise), you'll have to setup a powerbi gateway. More information on following link:
Power BI gateway personal mode
On-premises data sources
A personal gateway is required in order to refresh datasets that get data from a supported on-premises data source in your organization.
With a gateway, REFRESH NOW and SCHEDULE REFRESH are supported for datasets uploaded from:
Microsoft Excel 2013 (or later) workbooks where Power Query or Power Pivot is used to connect to and query data from a supported on-premises data source. All on-premises data sources shown in Get External Data in Power Query or Power Pivot support refresh except for Hadoop file (HDFS) and Microsoft Exchange.
I had to uninstall my "on-premises data gateway (personal mode) and reinstall updated version. it is working now.

External Data Refresh Failed DATABASENAME Tfs_Analysis Work Item

i have excel reports accessing analysis database. they are uploaded to sharepoint.
After upload they dont work anymore.
secure store credentials for analysis database have been created. connection string in excel is the same as in the other working reports that where already there.
user for the reports is the sharepoint service account.
user has full access to tfs, sharepoint, tfs database server and analysis server
when refreshing the report on my pc trough sharepoint web portal, the graphs get empty. refreshing it on other PC's in the network, the error comes up.
any ideas?
Apparently the cause for the error message was different date/time formats in the excel file and the server.
The file has TT.MM.JJ Germnan format, the server expects english format.
