Finally, I managed to connect to the MYSQL data. I think the key here is you have to use the "Complete" option when installing. once it works on 8.0.31 version then it also works using the othger higher versions. If You thin this works for you as well then accept this as a solution to this very annoying issue. Hope it will help a lot of ppl 

 

whtch and do exactly as shown

Hi, @gubhare 

Thanks for rajendraongole1's reply. You can refer to his method, or try to using the following app version to connect to Mysql.

vyaningymsft_0-1729059860930.png


MySQL: 8.0.39.0 MySQL :: Download MySQL Installer (Archived Versions)
MySQL connector: 9.1.0 MySQL-connector-net 9.1.0 

You need to reopen MySQL and PBI Desktop after installation
