How to connect MySQL and Microsoft Power BI

Create a New Scenario to Connect MySQL and Microsoft Power BI

In the workspace, click the โ€œCreate New Scenarioโ€ button.

Add the First Step

Add the first node โ€“ a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a MySQL, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, MySQL or Microsoft Power BI will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find MySQL or Microsoft Power BI, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the MySQL Node

Select the MySQL node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring MySQL, Microsoft Power BI, and any additional nodes, donโ€™t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.

Test the Scenario

Run the scenario by clicking โ€œRun onceโ€ and triggering an event to check if the MySQL and Microsoft Power BI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Microsoft Power BI (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.

Most powerful ways to connect MySQL and Microsoft Power BI

MySQL + Microsoft Power BI + Google Sheets: When a new or updated row is detected in MySQL, it triggers an update to the Power BI dashboard. The changed data from MySQL is then saved to a Google Sheet for archival purposes.

Microsoft Power BI + MySQL + Slack: When a dataset is updated in Microsoft Power BI, a SQL query is executed to fetch related data from MySQL. If key performance indicators in the MySQL data meet certain thresholds, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel.
