Snowflake connection to Semantic Model in Powerbi

Hello Everyone,

 

I have my semantic models connected to SQL Server, but now I have migrated everything to Snowflake, and I would like to know the best practices or recommendations for:

- Get information from Snowflake to my Semantic models

- Auto-refresh the semantic models in PowerBI with the latest data from Snowflake

- Monitor the changes between each semantic model version

 

Thanks, everyone, for any recommendations!

Hi, @julsr 

Get information from Snowflake to my Semantic models, You can refer to the following article, which suggests you use the official linker:

 Auto-refresh the semantic models in PowerBI with the latest data from Snowflake:

Set up a scheduled refresh in Power BI to automatically update your semantic models with the latest data from Snowflake.

Monitor the changes between each semantic model version:

Implement version control for your semantic models. Tools like Git or Azure DevOps can help track changes over time. Consider using third-party version control tools, such as Git, to manage and track changes to your semantic models more effectively.
