Matia Adds Sigma to Its Data Catalog

Matia's Catalog now connects to Sigma. Trace any Sigma workbook, element, or column back to the Snowflake tables behind it.

Today, Matia is launching Sigma in the Catalog.

Connect Sigma, and your workbooks, elements, and columns show up in Matia with lineage back to Snowflake. When a number in Sigma looks wrong, you can see where it came from. Before you change a Snowflake column, you can see which workbooks use it.

Sigma joins Metabase, Tableau, Omni, Hex, and Power BI all in one lineage graph in Matia.

What's New

What’s included:

• Sigma assets: folders, workbooks, reports, data models, datasets, elements, and columns
• Element lineage: which elements each element pulls from
• Snowflake lineage: which Snowflake tables each Custom SQL element queries
• Column-level lineage: Custom SQL and column formulas read, and each column links to the Snowflake columns or element columns it uses
• Formulas and data types: each column shows its Sigma formula and type

Why It Matters: Lineage No Longer Stops at the Warehouse

Sigma workbooks are built in layers. One element pulls from another. Custom SQL pulls from Snowflake. Column formulas reference columns in other elements.

Without lineage into Sigma, someone traces those layers by hand when a number looks wrong. And when a Snowflake column changes, nobody knows which workbooks break until someone opens one.

Six BI Tools, One Lineage Graph

Most data teams run more than one BI tool. Matia's Catalog covers six, and they all sit in the same lineage graph.

Matia also runs ETL and Observability, so lineage goes past the warehouse:

• Back to the source: when your data moves through Matia, a Sigma column traces through Snowflake and dbt to the system it came from.
• Before a change: when Matia detects a schema change in a sync, lineage shows which Sigma workbooks sit downstream.
• In your AI tools: ask Matia MCP which Sigma workbooks a table change will affect.

What Teams Use It For

No matter where you sit in the data org, you can benefit from Snowflake/Matia lineage capabilities.

• Data engineers: see which Sigma workbooks use a column before changing it
• Analytics engineers: show where a number came from without reopening every element.
• Heads of data: one catalog across all your BI tools
