MySQL Workbench 8.0 doesn't work
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 :

v-yingjl I know this post is old so I hope you can still help me.
Your suggestion is to download the MySQL connector that matches your Power BI architecture. Mine is 64 bit. But the link only shows 32 bit connectors. Where might I find a 64 bit MySQL Connector?
(Edited:) I take that back. My MySQL Installer shows that I have the X64 architecture installed for both MySQL Workbench and the Connector/ODBC. I have confirmed that my Power BI is 64 bit. But I am still getting an error stating: "This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used."
WHAT components is it looking for? I'm lost.
Thanks in advance.
