How to Set Up Scheduled Refresh for MySQL (ODBC) in Power BI Service?

Issue Description

I have installed MySQL Connector ODBC 8.0.33 (winx64) on my machine and connected to a remote MySQL database in Power BI Desktop using the ODBC data source. I successfully imported the data and created a report.

In Power BI Desktop, when I manually refresh, the data updates as expected based on the latest data in the MySQL database.

However, after publishing the report to Power BI Service, I need to set up a scheduled refresh. Here are my questions:

Questions:

1. Do I need to set up an on-premises data gateway for scheduled refresh in Power BI Service?

2. Under the "Data Connections" section in Power BI Service, what configurations need to be set?

3. Where do I need to provide the database credentials for the refresh to work properly?

Current Setup:

• Power BI Desktop: Connected via ODBC to MySQL

• Power BI Service: Published report and dataset

• MySQL Database: Hosted remotely

• MySQL Connector: Installed MySQL Connector ODBC 8.0.33 (winx64)

Expected Outcome:

I want my Power BI report to refresh on a scheduled basis in Power BI Service without requiring manual refresh in Power BI Desktop.

Any guidance on setting up the gateway (if needed), credentials, and scheduled refresh settings would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
