Snowflake Data Visualisation

 Link to the visualisation here: 


I have been looking for a tool to use to do free data visualisation on any data source but more recently on Snowflake. Whilst I can use Power BI but I cannot share. So I had a quick look at using the built in snowflake tool. It was very easy to create a couple of graphs off my basic model using a SQL query as the source but make no mistake it is, currently at least, nothing like the major reporting tools out there and cannot replace things like Google Data Studio, OAC or Power BI with very limited options available.

Creating a date dimension in dbt and Snowflake

A lot of the data that I am working with doesn't lend itself to creating complex star schemas (more on data modelling in a later post) however I want to try and at least want to go to some effort. The one thing that pretty much all my tables have in common is date, so I want to build a date dimension. My strength training happens on a day, my running and walking, parkrun and hopefully the weather data I intend to integrate will have a date on it. This means if I have a date dimension and I aggregate my various facts at date level I can use them together in a single visualisation.  There are various methods I could have used to create the date dimension and I went with using the dbt spine, this was really simple using the utilities:  Used the date functions in Snowflake to extract relevant fields such as year, month, day in words and year month etc.
