Description
I now want to plug directly into our main db (MySQL 5.5) from my desktop, but am having problems connecting.
This should be a very quick and simple task for anyone with reasonable PowerBI knowledge. I want clear written instructions and support if I run into problems. Please only apply if you have proven POWERBI experience

Hi Chris, Could you please develop a little bit more about the actual issue you've run into when trying to connect to your MySQL instance? Cheers, Tom
Chris R.04 Mar 2017Hi Tom,
I thought it might be helpful to let you know the error syntax that I am getting when I try to connect to MySQL.
MySQL database
This connector is not configured correctly
This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used.
There is a "Learn More" link, which takes me to the MySQL page with the Connector download that I have already installed!!
I have read a couple of forums and I think this might be only the start of the journey to get MySQL connected.
Are you sure that you can help me with this?
I need to get it sorted this weekend. I want simple and detailed intstructions as to what I need to do to connect with any errors detailed. It looks like there may be a couple more hurdles to overcome even when the connector is installed correctly
Kind regards
