Increase in PBIX File size after changing data source

Hello, Size of the PBIX file increased from 700MB to 2.2GB after pointing from SQL Server to Snowflake with the same data. Any thoughts?

Hi,  @Yogisha 

What connection mode are you using?

Is there any change in the data model?

Difference in data type? Trailing spaces? Were columns sorted in SQL and not Snowflake? That can affect the columnar compression.
