Explicitly cast data types in your Snowflake queries to match Power BI's expected types. Use Power BI's data type detection features to identify and correct any mismatches. Review the Simba Snowflake ODBC Driver documentation for supported data type mappings. Consider using Snowflake's `TRY_CAST` function to handle potential conversion errors gracefully.
