I am trying to connect to Azure databse for MySQL Server but getting below error:

My Approach was:

->Get Data

->Azure SQL Database

-><server name>:3306

 

I am able to connect to this server using MySQL Workbench.

 

Additional Info:

Power BI Version: 2.74.5619.621 64-bit (October 2019)

MySQL Connector NET 8,0,16

 

TIA!

Hi @gcp_kumar ,

 

Could you please clear the permission of your data source to check again?

Cleared Permission and tried to connect, still getting the same error.

Maybe because of VPN:

Otherwise you can try using a different SQL client which might resolve this issue. 

I am not using any VPN. Its strange that I am able to connect to Azure for MySQL using Workbench but not using PowerBI
