Hi @romals29 ,

 

Which way are you connecting to the mysql data source? For powerbi, the best way is Connect to MySQL database from Power Query Desktop.

take the following steps:

  • Select the MySQL database option in the connector selection.
  • In the MySQL database dialog, provide the name of the server and database.
  • Select the Database authentication type and input your MySQL credentials in the User name and Password boxes.
  • Select the level to apply your credentials to.
  • Once you're done, select OK.
  • In Navigator, select the data you require, then either load or transform the data.

For more details, you can read related document as below:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

- clear Power BI cache

- specify another table first and then modify the Power Query code to your tabe

 

Hi lbendlin

 

I cleared cache in power bi desktop but still the table is not visible

Is there anything special about the new table? Binary or spatial Field types?

No its just a simple table just has one INT column and one VARCHAR column

Have you tried to specify the table name manually in Power Query as I had recommended?
