**Tip:&nbsp; Build and Deploy a multidimensional model of Snowflake data**

If you need to create cubes from Snowflake data for more efficient and comprehensive data analysis and you use SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) for building enterprise-grade semantic data models, this tip is for you!

In a few achievable steps, use CData’s [ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET) Provider for Snowflake to:

1. Create a data source for Snowflake.
2. Create a data source view.
3. Create a cube for Snowflake.
4. Process the project – deploy the cube to SSAS.

Read this [article](https://www.cdata.com/kb/tech/snowflake-ado-ssas.rst) for the detailed steps. Although this example references **Snowflake** data, CData has hundreds of other low-code [ADO.NET](http://ADO.NET) Providers, check out this [page](https://www.cdata.com/ado/).

NOTE: For SSAS **tabular**  **models** , please use the [ODBC driver](https://www.cdata.com/odbc/) instead.
