Hi @Tahreem24 ,

Did it occur when you choose the tables, or when  you import it to Power Query to edit it?  Please check whether the vision of Power BI is 2.71.5523.941  and the vision of MySQL is latest. And there is a similar thread when import it to Power Query you can reference.

 

Best Regards,

Hi @Tahreem24 ,

Can you please try to update the vision of Power BI? There are some problems that are caused by the version.  Currently I'm not sure if yours is the same.
