# Connect a BI tool

> How to download, from the About popup of Atoti UI, the file that connects Tableau Desktop or Power BI Desktop to a cube of an Atoti server exposing the BI adapter.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only the servers exposing the BI adapter list their cubes in the **About**
> popup. If you cannot find them, contact your system administrator.

Tableau Desktop and Power BI Desktop can query the cubes of an Atoti server through its SQL endpoint.
Atoti UI allows to download the file that connects them to a cube.

## Download the connection file of a cube

1. Click **Help** in the header, then **About**.
2. Expand the row of the server.
3. Next to the cube, click **Tableau (.tds)** or **Power BI (.pbit)**.
4. Double click the downloaded file to open it in the installed tool.

A `.tds` file is a [Tableau data source](https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/export_connection.htm), and a `.pbit` file is a [Power BI template](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-templates).
