Extracting your data to Snowflake and pushing it to Tableau might be challenging. Manual data normalization and loading lead to data accuracy issues, lack of transparency, and degraded performance.

How to connect Tableau and Snowflake on your own

To connect Tableau and Snowflake install the ODBC driver first.
Create a Tableau user on a Snowflake and choose an authentication method.
If you’re using the OAuth method, you’ll have to run initial SQL.
Specify an SQL command that will be executed at the beginning of every connection, such as opening a workbook, refreshing an extract, etc.
Sign in.
Create sophisticated SQL queries to optimize the process of pushing data from Snowflake to Tableau.
Execute queries manually each time you need to pass up-to-date data to Tableau
