How to Create a Power BI Dataflow with Snowflake Data

You can use the Snowflake connector in Power Query (in Desktop or in Dataflows Gen2) to pull data from Snowflake into a dataflow. The dataflow runs in the cloud and can feed multiple semantic models.

Steps

Create a dataflow, add a Snowflake connection (account, warehouse, database, schema, and authentication), then choose tables or write a query. Apply any needed transformations in Power Query. Set a refresh schedule and share the dataflow so other reports can use it.

For large tables, use query folding (filters and column selection in M) and consider incremental refresh so you don’t pull full history every time.
