Hi.
I want to upload data from a MySQL database into QlikSense. I've read many posts in this forum and watched the videos.
But all the answers look different to my QlikSense application. What am I doing wrong?
Here is how it should look when I want to establish a new connection as described in the posts and videos (I can choose ODBC as a connector):
Here's how it looks in my application (I only have the regular data sources to choose from. No option to establish a new ODBC connection):
I don't see the mistake. Do I need to change anything in the applications settings?
Hope someone can help. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi again.
I had really hoped someone could help me with my connectivity problem. I'll try again.
In the meantime I have found a work around (since my test database is rather small I exported the data to excel and then imported the excel files into Qlik Sense) in order to get to know Qlik Sense as a BI tool. And I have to say I'm thrilled. It's really intuitiv and fun to work with.
BUT: As I am comparing different BI tools for my master thesis (Power BI, Tableau and Qlik Sense) in a real case environment and making a suggestion as to which tool to use I still need to access the MySQL database (it's not feasible for the company to export the data from MySQL to excel and then import it into Qlik Sense on a daily basis).
So, the question remains: How do I establish an ODBC connection in Qlik Sense?
Thanks a lot for your help.
