Hi Anonymous,
Try it to fix:
Option 1: Update the Snowflake ADBC Driver- Install the latest stable version of the ADBC driver for Snowflake.
- Ensure it is compatible with the version of Power BI Desktop you are using.
- Official documentation:
https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/odbc
Option 2: Switch to the Official ODBC or Native Connector- Instead of ADBC, use the Snowflake native connector in Power BI or the certified ODBC driver.
- In Power BI Desktop:
Get Data → Snowflake (do not use the experimental ADBC connector).
Option 3: Validate Connection Parameters and Mode- Confirm whether you are using Import or DirectQuery.
- If using DirectQuery, test with Import to check if the issue is related to the execution mode.
- Verify that the Snowflake account has the correct permissions and that there are no network restrictions.
