Error Dataflow with MySL - 'Connection option 'server' is duplicated.'

Hi, 

 

I am new to PowerBI and would appreciate any help on this topic. 

 

I am trying to set up a dataflow from a MySql DB and bumping into the following error when I try to add a data source - 'Connection option 'server' is duplicated.'. 

 

Error messageError message 

 

I get the same error message when I try connecting to the DB from PowerBI Desktop or even Excel. There were couple of posts related to this issue in the community and I tried those as well - Like downgrading the connectors, using a different pattern to enter Server name etc. 

 

Thanks,

Jagan
