Hi, @DiegoTabarez 

Maybe you can download gateway, and configure gateway.

Once you've configured your gateway, you can configure a new connection in the Power BI service

 in a PowerBi Report site 

You mean Power BI Service?

 

Is your MySQL database considered on-premise?  In that case you need to have a gateway.
