Error when loading tables with foreign keys
It took a while but I finally found the problem.
Apparently Power BI doesn't like it when you use capital letters in your column name.
So I change employeeNumber to employee_number and no more errors.
Hi Anonymous,
Based on my research, the issue may due to when one of the selected table names ends with a string that matches a schema name in the database, you could refer to below link and try the mentioned workaround:

Hi v-danhe-msft,
Thank you for the reply.
I'm having some issues applying the solution you mentioned.
For starters the link you provided is about excel 2013. I wanted to use this to get the exact same workaround proces. The problem is I only have excel 365 business which doesn't support mysql connections.
As mentioned it has to do with schema names and table names having the same string. But I have no idea what a schema name is and what a table name (I'm new to sql). I do know the difference between a schema and a table but I don't know how to see the distinct names between the two.
In the image above I have a screenshot of the navigator in MySql Workbench. At the top it says schemas.
Does this mean that everything here is a schema name. Or does is everything under tables a tablename.
If the later is true then that means the problem isn't about table and schema names because none of them are similar.
