@Dharani_98 ,

Please update power bi desktop to the latest version and follow stepes below:

1. Install the Power Query SDK from the Visual Studio Marketplace.
2. Create a new data connector project.
3. Define your connector logic.
4. Build the project to produce an extension file.
5. Copy the extension file into [Documents]/Power BI Desktop/Custom Connectors.
6. Check the option (Not Recommended) Allow any extension to load without validation or warning in Power BI Desktop (under File | Options and settings | Options | Security | Data Extensions).
7. Restart Power BI Desktop.
