What you'll learn

Most analysts get handed a Looker login and little else; they click around the field picker, run a query that returns something they didn’t expect, and end up back in someone else’s queue waiting for data.

In this course, Explore Data in Google Looker, you’ll gain the ability to answer your own questions directly in Looker’s Explore.

First, you’ll explore how to build accurate queries by choosing the right dimensions and measures and reshaping results with pivots and totals.

Next, you’ll discover how to refine your analysis with dimension and measure filters, sorting, row limits, and how to troubleshoot results that don’t look right.

Finally, you’ll learn how to perform deeper analysis with table calculations, from percent-of-total to period-over-period comparisons using offset functions.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Looker’s Explore needed to go from a login to self-sufficient analysis.
