Hi, Balamurugan2024 

To connect Azure Synapse Analytics from Power BI using a C account, you should use the same C account if it has the required permissions to access the Synapse workspace. Here are some best practices to ensure a smooth connection:

1. Grant Proper Permissions: Ensure that the C account has the necessary permissions within Azure Synapse Analytics. It should have access to the workspace and the dedicated SQL pool where the dim and fact tables are stored.

2. Use Service Principal: If you're using a service principal for the C account, make sure it has been granted the Synapse Administrator role or appropriate permissions to access the data.

3. Configure Power BI Service: In Power BI Service, configure the gateway connection to ensure that it can access the Azure Synapse Analytics workspace with the C account credentials.

4. DirectQuery Mode: When connecting to Azure Synapse Analytics, consider using DirectQuery mode in Power BI for real-time data analysis without the need to import data.

5. Manage Relationships: Properly manage relationships between your dim and fact tables in Power BI to ensure accurate data modeling and reporting.

6. Optimize Performance: To optimize performance, consider summarizing data in Synapse before connecting to Power BI, especially if dealing with large datasets.

7. Security: Ensure that all connections are secure and that data is encrypted both at rest and in transit.

By following these practices, you can effectively connect to your dim and fact tables stored in the gold layer of Azure Synapse Analytics from Power BI using your C account.
