Tool for Loading Adhoc Excel Files to Warehouse
I found the Excel add-in for Snowflake (https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/Excelerator) to be performant and useful for ad-hoc files, but it keeps crashing every time there is an update to Excel. It doesn't seem like it is actively maintained. It also lacks any data quality checks and has a clunky interface.
- Cheapest way to get "small data" (spreadsheets) into Snowflake?

Connect Snowflake with Excel
Probably doesn't help, but if you can run Parallels this is a handy Excel add-in for writing and querying data in Snowflake. Only works on Windows. https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/Excelerator Mac issue: https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/Excelerator/issues/2

Power Query in Excel connecting to Snowflake
Not directly applicable but may be relevant at some point if using excel frequently - the excelerator add in. I believe it was developed by snowflake professional services, but important to note not an official product of snowflake themselves. https://github.com/Snowflake-Labs/Excelerator

Is it possible to auto-refresh without opening a workbook?
An overkill solution but i think its the best. you can search github for another scripts that either use VBA or powershell or python.
