Problem connecting MYSQL Tables- System.String to System.guide

Dear All,

I'm conctacting you as I'm trying to connect a MYSQL database to powerbi, and I'm currently facing some issues. On first table I'm having this Message:

 

DataSource.Error: MySQL: It cannot be converted a  System.String to System.Guid.

 

Not sure where I have to change the configuration. I tried to find into the community, and I could not found any solution.

 

Please kindly help me.

 

regards

Hi,  @Anonymous 

I have never encountered a similar error message.

Can you share some relevant screenshots of the error message?

What kind of connector are you currently using to connect to the MYSQL database?
