Hi @akwang,

 

You could follow below blog 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.
