Snowflake-based project update via gateway
So why are we installing On-Premise Gateway? I want to connect to Snowflake directly. I installed On-Premise Data Gateway and I added a Snowflake data source to: https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/gateways/. The 'Test Connection' button indicated the connection was successful. However, I'm still receiving a message to install a personal gateway.
Yes, I absolutely agree, connecting directly to Snowflake would make much more sense :)

Accodring to July Feature Summary, on-premises data gateway is needed for the Service connection to Snowflake. If you prefer to connect to Snowflake directly without any gateway, You can create an idea in https://ideas.powerbi.com.

I have had all kinds of trouble getting the PowerBI.com service to recognize my Snowflake datasets so that I can refresh them through the gateway. If anyone at MS has time to help me debug I would love to help.
