I just installed power bi and trying to connect to sql server. I do have sql server installed but can't connect to the server. (provider:Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 -SQL Server)
Some troubleshoot recommends checking mysql configuration manager to be installed, but I can't seem to locate the file.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@bjo7000 , install the latest .net driver 8.0.22 - https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/
And then check. Also may sure you ip is whitelabeled (allowed) for access.
I tried installing the connector, but it says it is already installed. Same error message appears. Is it a problem with ip access? Mysql dashboard has connection to the server.
Seems like I need to download the mysql configuration manager. It says it comes with server download, but as I mentioned there is no file corresponding to the name. Should I reinstall the mysql server?

Before you can connect to a MySQL database, you need to install MySQL Connector/Net 6.6.5 for Microsoft Windows on your computer. Select the driver that matches your Power BI Desktop installation (32-bit or 64-bit).
After installing the MySQL connector, refer to this blog to connect to MySQL in Power BI Desktop.
If the connection still fails in Power BI Desktop, please check that if you are able to connect to the MySQL database in MySQL workbench, ensure that MySQL workbench is installed in the same machine as Power BI Desktop.
Appreciate a Kudos! 🙂
If this helps and resolves the issue, please mark it as a Solution! 🙂
