hi @v-henryk-mstf
Thank you for your replay , For the link you mentioned it in your replay didn't work for me , it works when creating ODBC MySQL check the screen-shots below:
But still befor going to connect the ODBC above to power bi you have to set mysql remote connection throgh ssh on windows 10 please check it from the website below:
https://www.sqlshack.com/how-to-connect-to-a-remote-mysql-server-using-ssh/
When you establish ssh through (Putty) you should keep it working on the dvice (this is the only limitation) and then test the conncetion:
when your test connects successfuly then after that connect it from power Bi and then it will work 100% .
If you have any comments please email me back.

Hi @MAAbdullah_47 ,
What is the hosting configuration you are using? Does it work to connect to powerbi desktop via the steps linked below?
