About mysql to power bi
Hi guys, when I use the power bi to connect the MySQL workbench 8.0. I have some problems with it , which have the print wrong message 'Internal connection fatal error. Error state: 18' . what should I do to modify the mistake?
Which MySQL driver did you install? Are you able to connect to the MySQL database with the same driver via Workbench? Did you specify the port 3306 as part of your server name? Are you sure your MySQL server supports encrypted connections?

Did you use latest driver? And You can try connect to MySQL database, if the connection is successful in MySQL workbench, use same connection string and make sure that you use Database credential in Power BI Desktop to connect to the MySQL database.Reference:
