Connecting to predefine SAP HANA CDS views
tomaskutac,
Currently, it is not possible to directly import data from CDS view using the built-in SAP HANA connector, regarding to this issue, you can sumit a feature request in Power BI ideas forum: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200.
However, CDS Views can be easily exposed as oData Service(API) which can then be utilized to fetch data out from SAP S/4HANA Cloud. You can use OData feed connector in Power BI Desktop to connect to import data from CDS view.
There are some blogs for your reference:
