    Hi Anonymous ,

    If you can't find these options on power bi snowflake connector, it mean power  bi not support them.
    BTW, I also check snowflake odbc driver related informations but I haven't found any documents mentioned send custom t-sql query from odbc driver.

      Hi,
      You can use a parameter and use the M function in the Navigation step via Advanced editor.
      SAMPLE VIEW :
      Create a Parameter:

      and then use Table.SelectRow directly on the end Navigation Step.



      This works because when changing the parameter, the refresh time of the dataset is very less than the actual refresh time of the complete dataset.
