    Hello grnelson39,
    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Forum Community.

    I tested this scenario on my side using Power BI Desktop (June 2025 version): Version: 2.144.1155.0 (64-bit) – June 2025 With this version, I was able to connect to Snowflake successfully without encountering the "We cannot convert the value null to type Logical." error you described.

    Download the same Power BI Desktop version: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=58494

    Please try installing this version and see if the issue persists. It’s possible that a newer or older build may be causing a compatibility problem with the Snowflake connector.

    If you continue to experience the error after installing the June 2025 version, let me know and we can explore further troubleshooting steps together.

    If this information is helpful, please “Accept as solution” and give a "kudos" to assist other community members in resolving similar issues more efficiently.
    Thank you.
