I am trying to connect Power BI to AWS RDS mysql database. But I got error below
Details: "An error happened while reading data from the provider: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Renci.SshNet, Version=2016.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1cee9f8bde3db106' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'"
Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Thx ^
Hi @Anonymous

As in the error message, it says "The system cannot find the file specified." You may copy the endpoint from the AWS console and use the MySQL workbench to validate that you can connect with the credentials provided to the RDS, that you have permissions to run a SQL statement, and that it is returning data. (Extract from the first link)

Thanks for reponse. I used the endpoint in AWS as the server when connecting to the Power Bi but still get this error.
