How to setup MySQL Dataflow using Premium account

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?

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

Please specify how to connect.png

Reason:

The connection details aren't set up correctly.

Resolution:

Select Configure connection. Set up the connection details and credentials.
