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 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
