    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.

      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.
