power BI desktop | partial data pull using mysql db Import

Hi Team,

 

When I try Get data - import mysql db on powerBI, The tables that I see has some data missing,

I validated this by pulling DB tables separately on my local pc using a script and then check data on mysql workbench.

 

What could I be missing here?
I attempted to refresh PBI, Clear cache and then try and connect to DB again - No go.

 

Please advise if there is a way to properly SYNC pbi with DB - Thank you

 Apparently issue was with Data source/DB itself - Hence closing this task
thanks all for your response 🙂

Hi !

You might be running into size limitatio. Try using Direct Query mode instead of Import Query to see if it brings all rows.

thanks for your response,
MySQL is currently not supported for Power BI that can be used with DirectQuery, Which means I'll have to import a copy of the data into the Power BI Desktop and cannot connect directly to the data source using DirectQuery.
