AtScale, the leader in Universal Semantic Layer technology, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 26, Snowflake Semantic Views XMLA Endpoint, powered by AtScale; a new integrated product offering that will be available in private preview soon.
The XMLA Endpoint helps customers extend governed business definitions from Snowflake Semantic Views to Microsoft Power BI and Excel without mirroring data into another analytics environment, relying on stale extracts, or recreating metric logic outside Snowflake. An analyst can ask Snowflake CoWork or CoCo about gross margin and see the same answer in a Power BI dashboard or Excel pivot table, with data and compute remaining on Snowflake.
Snowflake Semantic Views provide a trusted semantic layer for Snowflake AI applications, including Snowflake CoWork and Cortex Agents, by defining consistent business metrics and dimensions. AtScale extends those same definitions to Power BI and Excel through live connections, giving AI agents, dashboards, and spreadsheets a shared semantic foundation.
“AI did not create the metrics consistency problem. It exposed it,” said Chris Lynch, CEO of AtScale. “For years, companies got away with different numbers in dashboards, spreadsheets, and reports because humans could reconcile the gaps. Agents won’t get the benefit of the doubt. XMLA Endpoint for Semantic Views, powered by AtScale, is a statement about where enterprise AI and analytics are headed: governed semantics in Snowflake, live access from the tools business users already trust, and data and compute in Snowflake. Customers own their semantics, choose their tools, choose their compute platform, and build for whatever comes next.”
For Snowflake customers, the embedded AtScale product is designed to:
- Bring governed Snowflake metrics to Microsoft analytics users through live access from Power BI and Excel.
- Use XMLA-based connectivity so Power BI and Excel users can query trusted Snowflake metrics without fragile extracts or disconnected semantic logic.
- Keep analytics workloads on Snowflake without mirroring data into another platform, creating duplicated extracts, or moving compute away from Snowflake.
- Deliver consistent answers across Cortex Agents, CoWork, dashboards, and spreadsheets by grounding each experience in the same governed definitions.
“Snowflake customers should not have to move or duplicate semantic context to give business users access to governed metrics in the tools they already use,” said Josh Klahr, Product Manager at Snowflake. “With Snowflake’s XMLA Endpoint for Snowflake Semantic Views, powered by AtScale, customers can extend trusted business definitions to Power BI and Excel while keeping Snowflake as the foundation for consistent AI and analytics.”
For enterprises with broader semantic requirements, AtScale Enterprise extends this foundation beyond the embedded Snowflake use case to support time intelligence, hierarchies, dimensional modeling, advanced business calculations, additional analytic tools, AI agents, and data platforms. This keeps Snowflake at the center while allowing trusted business logic to reach the AI agents, warehouses, analytic tools, and SaaS applications enterprises depend on.
