Can Hana attribute views be consumed in power bi?

[k_e]

In Microsoft docs, it is mentioned that Power BI can connect to the HANA view such as analytic & calculation view. Does that mean one cannot connect to the Attribute view? Please shed light on this. Thank you!

Hi @k_e ,

If you connect SAP HANA with import mode, you could extract Attribute views. However, it is not supported to connect directly with DirectQuery mode. You could reference the document below.

DirectQuery and SAP HANA > Limitations :

• Support for Attribute views - Power BI can connect to Analytic and Calculation views, but cannot connect directly to Attribute views.

Thank you for your reply!

But I am connecting to SAP HANA using the import method of connection. All I can get in navigator pane are analytic & calculation views. The attribute views are not listed there. Does that mean we have no way of connecting to the attribute view?
