I cannot connect Mysql server from app.powerbi.com in Dataset. when i submit the credentials then showing the below message.
Note I can connect Mysql from the Power BI desktop. I cannot find the SQL connector /net X64 suggested for installation.
Failed to update data source credentials: MySQL: We were unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient'. This error could've been the result of provider-specific client software being required, but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose the 64-bit (x64) version of, at minimum, 'MySQL Connector/Net': https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=278885
