Description:
I have updated to the latest version of MYSQL. I am trying to use MySQL for excel but for some reason the side bar is not showing up correctly. I tried reinstalling the whole thing and didnt work. I am trying to start importing and exporting data to a database, but in my current situation it is not possible. HELP

How to repeat:
This is issue happens since I have installed MySQL. The excel feature has never worked due to the side bar not showing all the options.

Suggested fix:
I tried reintalling the whole thing but not success

I am using Microsoft Excel 15.0.4711.1000 32bit
and downloaded the MySQL Installer 5.6.24
The version for the MySQL I believe is 1.2.1 not 1.3

Please try version 1.3.4:

Already downloaded the 1.3.4 MySQL for excel version and had the same result when trying to open the side bar.

I now noticed something else. Whenever the server is running and I click New connection an error message that I can't even read because the text is overlapped appears. Help please.
