    Hi Anonymous ,

    As we know, MySQL Workbench is just a visualization tool for users to show and edit database on premiss. If you want to connect to MySQL database to get data in power bi desktop, you should install the connector which is matched with your power bi desktop version(32bit or 64 bit)first :

I had already entered on this link to download the sollution

 

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

 

But downloded the wrong file. I've clicked on Recommended Download, and installed the complete Workbench, that didn't work.

Now I've just gone to Other Downloads and installed only the Connector/NET 8.0.19.

It works now
