Hello,
I am trying to establish a connection with MySQL and encountering the following error when attempting to connect from Power BI Services. However, when I connect from Power BI Desktop, it works fine. After uploading the .pbix file to the workspace, I am unable to establish a connection. I am using the standard version of the gateway. MySQL connector is already installed on gateway machine.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Abrar786 From the error message, you either do not have the MySQL connector installed or the incorrect version of the MSQL connector: (1) Solved: Power BI Desktop - Unable to Connect - Microsoft Fabric Community
Hi @Greg_Deckler ,
Thank you for your response. Earlier, I had installed MySQL 8.0.33, but now I have installed version 8.0.1, and it works fine.
