I was recently asked to set up a database for my father. I made the database and we loaded all the information into it but now we are having some issues getting power pivot to pull from this database. It is a typical godaddy mysql server.

Much like this one

  • [h=5]Database name and username:[/h] BrendenData
  • [h=5]Password:[/h]Chardy873@

  • [h=5]Friendly Name:[/h] BrendenData


  • [h=5]Admin URL (phpMyAdmin):[/h] https://p3nlmysqladm002.secureserver.net/dgrid50/203


  • [h=5]MySQL version:[/h] 5.0 (Direct access allowed)
  • [h=5]Status:[/h] Setup
  • [h=5]Hostname:[/h] BrendenData.db.9587634.hostedresource.com
  • [h=5]Direct Access:[/h] Yes


And yes I did call godaddy and make sure that remote access was allowed. Im confused on how to get this to pull properly. let me know if anyone can help and walk me through what to put into each field on the power pivot wizard to get it to pull properly Server name And Database Name

Thank you and all help is appreciated.
