@aak7360,

Firstly, Power BI free users can use Power BI Desktop to connect to SAP HANA with DirectQuery mode, create reports there and publish reports to Power BI Service, no license is required.

Secondly, before your connect to SAP HANA database in Power BI Desktop, the SAP HANA ODBC driver must be installed on the local client computer, for more details, please refer to this article: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-sap-hana/ .
