Prerequisites to connect MySQL DB source from Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have to pull data from MySQL DB source from my Power BI desktop.

Do I need the DB access to fetch the data or only installing MSI Installer/Connector works?

What are the prerequisites to connect from my local PBI desktop to MySQL DB?

Thanks In Advance

@Anonymous did you tried native MySQL DB connector in Power BI, you need Server and Database name, and of course permission to connect to it. Not sure if this is what you re looking for?

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
