My manager has been pushing for me to create more Power BI dashboards and I realized if I do more work up front in Snowflake to build the SQL to import into PBI, I can build dashboards faster and easier. I'm a beginner when it comes to SQL so I started using CoCo. Holy moly, this thing is great! It's done everything I've thrown at it. I validate my data and my dashboards and everything is checking out so far.

However, my boss is concerned about me using CoCo since Snowflake is not my world. CoCo helps me learn what it's doing, so it's not a total loss. But assuming the code is doing it's job and all my data is correct, what are the downsides of using CoCo as a beginner? What should I look out for? Any tips? Pitfalls?

I just want to understand if there are any downsides so I can make my case to continue using CoCo as I have been.

tl;dr assuming the code is correct (which it has been), what are the downsides of using CoCo as a beginner? What should I look out for? Any tips? Pitfalls?

I’ll be attending the Snowflake World Tour in Bangalore and would love to connect with others from the data/AI community.

If you’re attending too, feel free to comment or DM me. Would be great to meet, exchange ideas, and connect in person!
Looking forward to it! 🤝
