Hi @KhyaiBhavani ,

As far as I know, there is currently no direct connector to Servicenow for Power BI. 

For reference: Power BI data sources

I think you can try to get data from Servicenow by ODBC connector if data size is not very large.

Try the following steps:

Install the ODBC driver to the VMs that host gateway and Power BI Desktop.

Then add the ODBC data source within gateway, and whitelist the IP address of gateway machine and add required ports into your firewall rule.

Or you can try to create a dedicated reporting database containing a copy of the data. Either on-premise DB or an Azure one. And then connecting Power BI to this traditional database. You won't be impacting ServiceNow and the reports will be way faster.

You may refer to this solved post to learn more details.
