Problems embedding a Power BI Report into MVC Application - powerbi-desktop

We have developed a report using Microsoft Power BI Desktop (optimized for Report Server) Version: 2.76.5678.1521 64-bit (January, 2020).
This report is hosted on Microsoft Power BI Report Server Version 15.0.1102.759 (January 2020).
We are attempting to embed this report in an MVC application written in C# in Visual Studio 2017. We are using the following script:
<iframe style="width:100%; height:450px;"
src="http://myserver.local/PBIReports/powerbi/Folder/My%20Report%20Name?
rs:embed=true" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>
It works in Firefox and Chrome. In Internet Explorer he gets a blank screen and in Edge he gets a “Can’t Reach This Page Error”. Any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this in IE and Edge would be greatly appreciated.

CRM v2011 platform is not opening browsers other than IE

When we're trying to open CRM portal v2011 with chrome or edge but aren't seeing anything, we are seeing just an empty page. But we try to open with IE, portal is working, main page is opening.
Also an extra information we installed update roll 6 last.
What can we do for open to browser other than IE?
Apply a more recent rollup to get CRM 2011 working with later browsers, this depends on the combination of the operating system as well.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 12 introduced additional
browser compatibility for the Firefox, Chrome, and Safari web
browsers.
Important Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 17 introduced
compatibility with Internet Explorer 11 when it runs in Windows 7,> Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
Browser compatibility with Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011

MS Management studio import wizard External table is not in the expected format. Excel (XLSX)

I am using the SQL managment studio to run the import wizard to get data from excel file (XlSX). I get the following error:
External table is not in the expected format. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
The excel file is not password protected and it was created in office 2003 (95% sure)
I have read articles suggesting missing drivers. I have installed all the following:
Microsoft Office version Download
2016 Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime
2013 Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime
2010 Microsoft Access 2010 Runtime
2007 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components
Nothing of these worked for me. However; if I open the excel file, click save, close it and then import it using the wizard it works.
The problem is that I would like to automate this process. So opening 200 files, save them, and then close them is not an option.
My specs:
windows 10,
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools 12.0.4459.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 10.0.14393.0
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.14393.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.42000
Operating System 6.3.14393
The only thing that I found starnge here is the following:
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0.
Is this the correct value. If not, how do I update it?
This is my second day looking for a solution to this problem with no luck. If anyone could help.

Why Cognos Metric studio is missing from IBM Cognos-10?

I am using IBM Cognos 10 trial version and I am new to it. Here I created different types of reports. Recently I came to know that we can also create scorecard and strategy maps using Cognos Metric studio. Till now I just used Cognos Report studio and Cognos Framework manager. I have googled about how to open Cognos Metric studio but in every article I found that in Cognos Welcome page we can find the Metric studio, but in my Cognos welcome page there is no such kind of thing. See the following diagram.
I want to know how we can open Cognos Metric studio in IBM Cognos 10 trial version?
I have some doubts here, Is Cognos trial version they don't provide any Metric studio or we have to download it and configure it to the Cognos separately.
Or
Is the installation process which I followed is Wrong?
My another doubt is, Cognos Framework manager rpd file is enough to Scorecard type of things or we have to use Metric designer for this, anyhow I did not have Metric designer as well......
Can we do all things which we can do in Cognos Metric studio also using Report studio, if yes can anyone suggest me how to do scorecards in Cognos Report studio.
I don't know about trial version, but normal Metric Studio is a separate distribution.
There may be possibly two reasons for it that I know;
The Profile assigned to your User ID may not contain these
rights/permissions.
Can you login using Internet Explorer or Mozilla instead and see if it appears ? Sometimes the latest versions of Browser do not render due to some bugs in Cognos Connection code.
