Need help with connecting to a MySQL server
Hi, I am a new Power BI user and is trying to connect to a MySQL database. I tried many different setting but I am unable to get it to work. Setup: I added my computer's IP address in Cpane...
Are you trying to connect from the service or from Power BI Desktop or from Excel?
I have an article on TechNet that gives some notes around this:

Pls help
We were unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient'.
This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 64-bit (x64) version of, at minimum, 'MySQL Connector/Net': https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=278885"
