Connection Mysql

hello my friends,

 
the question is: 
 
We have a database on the web using Mysql, "it is not local", therefore we do not need a gateway. How to connect to this database using Power bi on web, to make the automatic update of the database?

Here is instructions

You don't need a Gateway, so don't add it

therefore you need a Gateway

and this is a Sharepoint Online

and I think you picked the wrong connector or the wrong URL. There are 2 ways to connect to Sharepoint online via Desktop in order to have it well connected in the Service.

 

This is wrong

You don't add Sharepoint to the Gateway
