Connect SAP to Power BI, Snowflake, Databricks & Tableau Without Coding: DVW Flow Tool

For most organizations, SAP is where the business-critical data lives. But getting that data into modern analytics platforms like Power BI, Tableau, or Snowflake is often a challenge. Traditional integration projects require specialist skills, big budgets, and plenty of time. For business users who just need quick, reliable access to SAP data, this can feel like an impossible barrier.

​That’s where the DVW Flow Tool comes in.

What is the DVW Flow Tool?

The Flow Tool is a low-code, no-code desktop application that makes it easy for business users to connect SAP data with the analytics platforms they use every day. With simple drag-and-drop functionality, you can:
​

• Run SAP transaction codes, queries, and tables directly.
• Combine SAP data with non-SAP sources.
• Cleanse, join, and manipulate data without coding.
• Send it to Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, and more.

​And the best part? The Flow Tool preserves the business logic you’ve already built into SAP, so there’s no need to reinvent the wheel.

How It Works: A High-Level Overview

Using the Flow Tool is straightforward:
​

1. Connect directly to SAP - Run a transaction code (T-Code) in Flow Tool.
2. Filter efficiently - Apply filters dynamically so repetitive tasks don’t need to be rebuilt every time.
3. Cleanse and enrich data - Use drag-and-drop tools to prepare data, like creating unique lists, joining lookup tables, or adding business-friendly labels.
4. Optional scripting - For advanced users, small Python snippets can add custom calculations or tweaks.
5. Push to your platform of choice - Configure outputs to Snowflake, Power BI, Tableau, or any supported system.

​At any point, you can run the flow to check your data, making it easy to resolve issues quickly.

• Start by running the relevant SAP transaction code in the Flow Tool.
• Apply filters to bring back just the data you need.
• Use the join tool to add business area descriptions from SAP text tables.
• Enrich the dataset with additional transformations (e.g., renaming columns or simple calculations).
• Send the clean, pre-baked dataset directly into Snowflake tables.

​From there, your Snowflake environment has live, ready-to-use SAP data without any complex coding or re-engineering. The same process works seamlessly for Power BI, Tableau, Databricks and Microsoft Fabric.
