Hi All, I press get data and select MySQL datatabase.
I get the following message:
"we encountered an error while trying to connect. the connector cannot be used because you are missing one or more required components.".
The Learn More link took me to the MySQL site to download
I downloaded that and nothing happened. I restarted my machine as well, no dice.
Windows 10, 32 bit office, 32 bit power BI.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@sois Ignore that link and instead download x64 bit MySQL connector and install yourself. I have seen before where doing that has fixed the problem.
Thank you so much. Nothing else seemed to work but this worked perfectly.
Thanks! this actually worked for me.
Try to check environment variables in your system and add server bin url (c:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin) there. It should resolve.
if others have this problem try the following install the 8.0.30 version https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-odbc/ and the 8.0.32 version https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-net/ I have no idear why this works but it does
I am useing Version: 2.116.763.0 64-bit (april 2023) of Power Bi and im on Windows 11
Hope it helps!

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me.
I just installed Power BI, and I cannot connect with Mysql database, it had the same error like this thread. My lastest version is v.8.0.33.
I tried to download MySQL connector (the link is 32 bit), but when installed it not showed install, just show "repair, remove options", not have "typical" like some youtube video shared.
I tried many times, but it still happened, please help me! 🙏
