Hi,
Is there any way to connect to snowflake in PBI dataflows with DirectQuery mode ? I cannot find specific answer in the documentation and when I tried myself it is not giving me a option
Hi @Anonymous ,
By default Direct Query is not enabled. In order to use this capability, you you should be a premium Power BI user.
Enable the enhanced compute engine on your premium capacity and go into the dataflow settings section for the dataflow you wish to enable and find the Enhanced compute engine property. Turn this setting to ‘On’ and refresh the dataflow.
Refer to this document: Power BI Dataflows Direct Query Support | Blog de Microsoft Power BI | Microsoft Power BI

Hi. No you can't. Dataflow only store the data. So Import mode only. If you want to use Direct Query against snowflake then use Power Bi Desktop to build a dataset connected that way.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
Thanks for clarifying. Can you give me a documentation link or reference where the same is stated ?
Hi there,
Did you manage to find a solution to this? I am trying to achieve probably the same outcome. I could use Power Apps table, but for some reason SF lets me connect to it via PBI, but not via PApps
