    Hi kalpanaV,

     

    The minimum MySQL provider version supported by Power BI is 6.6.5. Could you try downloading and reinstalling the MySQL provider from this link to see if it works? :smileyhappy:

     

    Regards

        Hi kalpanaV,

         

        The MySQL provider is needed to use MySQL connector in Power BI Desktop. Or you will get the error above. :smileyhappy:
