PowerBI desktop Connection with Azure Database for MySQL server

[Anonymous]

Hello, how do i connect power bi to a database to Azure Database for MySQL server not the regular microsoft sql server. I have created Azure Database for MySQL server, added my client ip address to the firewall and tried connecting, i get this error -

Details: "Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

please help, thank you.
