Hello

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Yes we have configured the gateway and using it for a while. Connection is successful, when I added MySQL details in Gateway as well.

 

I was able to make connection via Desktop tool but not from Dataflow. It keeps saying Invalid Credentials.

 

Thanks

Hey vikkidurai91 

 

My organization is having the same problem.  

 

We can create a Power BI report that uses a MySQL database connection, and we can publish that report on the Power BI service and and it will successfully refresh via the on-premise Data Gateway.

 

However, when we try to create a Dataflow, we keep encountering an error during the  "Connect to data source" step, where it complains about Invalid credentials.  Obviously, something isn't working quite right yet. 

 

I suppose we will have to reach out to Microsoft Support directly.   Were they able to resolve your issue?
