Hi, guys.
I was doing tests using mysql in a workspace pro and gateway and everything worked fine.
When I switched to a premium workspace, I couldn't access anymore the database in mysql. The message "Please specify how to connect" appears, even with the correct username and password, I cannot access.
Access in mysql database is done by IP and user. Is that it? What i IP of power bi web?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @CSpina ,
According to the official document, this problem happens when you're connected to a data source, but haven't set up the credentials or connection details yet. It can happen when you migrate queries into a dataflow
Reason:
The connection details aren't set up correctly.
Resolution:
Select Configure connection. Set up the connection details and credentials.
