Hi @ALEX13,

 

 

You could have a good look at the blog below to connect to SAP BW from Power Bi desktop:

Microsoft Power BI and SAP BW Data Warehouse Connectivity step by step

 

Please pay attention to the fifth tip:

Make sure that Your Basis Administrator has disabled the Single Sign On option for your user account and enabled the Logon using Username/Password option.

 

Reference: similar thread which has been solved

 

Best regards,

Hi, yes I installed the connector. Do I need a VPN to establish a connection with SAP?
