Hi @ajitajena 

This is a common error indicating that the Power BI Service environment cannot recognize or use the Snowflake data provider.

Possible Solutions:

  1. Use a Gateway:

    • Make sure you have installed and configured an On-premises data gateway on the machine or server that connects to Snowflake.
    • Ensure the gateway is connected to your Power BI account and is set up to work with the Snowflake data source.
  2. Check the Connection Type:

    • Verify that you're using DirectQuery or Import in a way that is compatible with Power BI Service.
    • Sometimes, connections that work in Power BI Desktop won’t work in the Service without a properly configured gateway.
  3. Permissions and Access to Snowflake:

    • Ensure that the Power BI Service account has the necessary permissions to access Snowflake.
    • Check for any IP restrictions or firewalls that might be blocking access.
  4. Update Versions:

    • Make sure you're using the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
    • Also, ensure the gateway is updated to the latest version.

If None of the Above Works:

If you've verified all the above and the issue still persists, it's recommended to open a support ticket with Microsoft Power BI Support. Provide them with:

  • A detailed description of the issue
  • Screenshots of the error
  • Information about your Snowflake setup
  • Gateway configuration details

This will help them investigate the issue more thoroughly and provide a tailored solution.
