SnowFlake Connection

[mhassan3]

Do I need to install any driver to connect to SnowFlake DB from Power BI Desktop ?

Hi @mhassan3 ,

• The first thing you should install the ODBC Drivers.
• After installed the 64bit drivers where your power BI Desktop installed, and also installed it on all the Servers where your the On-Premise Data gateway installed.
• Below is the link that you can download

Snowflake Repository (snowflakecomputing.com)

Note that only the ODBC driver needs to be installed and there is no need to do any configuration of the ODBC driver, this is because it will be configured in Power BI Desktop.

For more details, you can read below blog:

Snowflake + Power BI

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,
Henry

@mhassan3,

No driver installation is required. Simply use the Snowflake connector:

Getting the below error:
