MySQL database has a password encrypted field.
When I import that field, it is ignored by Power BI.
When I open Power Query Editor, I am able to click the "APPLIED STEPS" value "Source" and then click on the "Data" column, "Table" value and create a Navigation step.
Power Query now displays the encrypted column as "Binary".
How do I unencrypt that field so I can use it?
Thx

Yea, I saw that post. Saw it was 2018 and specific to SQL Server.
Thought I might catch lightening in a bottle and as the question anyway.
