Hi sau6402,

 

Here is a similar thread in which a workaround that (download MySQL server and tools here and install it on the desktop you are using Power BI Desktop on) is mentioned. Could you go to check if it helps.:smileyhappy:

 

PS: When first using MySQL with Power BI Desktop, I also got the same issue as yours. I just installed mysql-connector-net-6.6.5.msi from that link, then the issue got resolved. Don't know why it doesn't work for you.

 

Regards
