i have Install the SAP NetWeaver library on my local machine and also installed all files included in the SAP NetWeaver RFC SDK according to the SAP Note. but still i am not able to connect SAP B\W server .Please let me know, if any specifics required to install on my machine.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Surya,
Please verify SAP NetWeaver library is installed on your machine correctly. If you are not sure, you can contact your SAP BW admin for help. Then you need to make sure the architecture for your Power BI Desktop installation matches the SAP NetWeaver library (32-bit or 64-bit). For more information, see: Use the SAP BW Connector in Power BI Desktop.

Thank you for your prompt response !! i have resolved the issuse by copied SAP nwrfcsdk library files into powerBI
After downloading the file from SAP, I have pasted the lib files into system32 but I keep getting the message "SAP Business Warehouse: Connection string is not valid."
Why can this be happening?
Thanks a lot
Have you extracted the files in Program Files/Microsoft Power BI Desktop /bin server. Extract the files there if you have not and then copy the dlls from the extracted library to System 32. Also make sure the SAP Neatweaver is of same bit(32 bit or 64 bit ) as of your power desktop version.
