Hi @aak7360,

 

To get the SAP HANA connector to work in Power BI Desktop, you need to install both the SAP HANA ODBC driver and the SAP Netweaver RFC SDK.

 

In addition, here is an article about downloading and installation of NW RFC SDK for your reference. Smiley Happy

Hi @aak7360,

 

Based on my research, the error indicates a problem in the host name resolution. Typical reason is that wrong host name resolution settings on operating system level.

 

Could you try using IP address for your host to see if it works?

 

If it still doesn't work, I would also suggest you post the issue on the SAP HANA forum for better assistants on it. Smiley Happy
