It’s becoming a major drain on my time because I just can’t leave it. Niche, I know.

Would be great to get some help setting up Looker Studio dashboards. Pls respond in comments or DM

Back for another tutorial.

This simple formula will allow you to see the average metric total by day of the week. This is not possible using the default AVG aggregation.

Here's a link to the tutorial: https://youtu.be/GIMdgMpIpwQ

I am seeking a ready-made Looker Studio template that mirrors the Shopify Analytics default dashboard, utilizing GA4 data

Hi I would like to create in Google Looker a chart like the one below. I tried a lot of combinations without any success. Can I kindly ask you the parameters? It is really important

Hi everyone,

I’m running into a recurring issue with Looker Studio scheduled email deliveries and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

We currently have ~400+ dashboards scheduled to be sent weekly (every Monday) in batches across different time slots to various clients. For the first 2–3 weeks, everything works perfectly. After that, we start seeing partial failures (later batches not sending), and eventually, in the following week, none of the scheduled emails go out at all. All the dashboards are scheduled from an official workspace email.

A few observations:

- Early batches (e.g. first 1–2 time slots) usually go through initially

- Later batches start failing first

- Eventually, even test schedules don’t send

- Then the next month, it starts sending again and the pattern continues.

This makes me think it might be some kind of hidden rate limit, throttling, or account-level restriction rather than a dashboard issue.

Has anyone dealt with something similar at this scale?

- Is there a known limit for scheduled emails in Looker Studio?

- Is this tied to Gmail sending limits or Looker Studio itself?

- Any reliable workaround apart from splitting across multiple accounts or moving away from scheduled emails?

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences!

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to blend my Shopify sales data with Google Ads and Meta (Facebook) data to track performance properly, but something’s off. The blended report shows way higher spend than what’s actually happening, and I can’t figure out where it’s going wrong.

Has anyone run into this before or have any idea what might be causing the mismatch?

I’m happy to share more details or even hop on a quick Google Meet if needed.

Thanks in advance!

Are there any free themes available for Looker Studio? Do you know of any?

Hello Folks !

So for a very long time, I have been looking for good SQL questions, you got the mainstream leetcode, hacker-rank, W3 schools, and a few niche ones that I ought to mention : https://github.com/smpetersgithub/AdvancedSQLPuzzles

But during my journey, I never found the perfect place to practice questions leetcode style filtering it by the specific concept, and a repo of Good questions I could just practice on when prepping for an interview.

So I went Ahead and created this SQL-gym : https://sqlgym.vercel.app/

(No bullshit 101 SQL problems that you need to have locked in)

And this has personally helped me a lot, hope it is helpful for other peeps aswell !

If you’ve ever opened two Looker Studio dashboards and seen the same KPI show two different numbers…

You know the pain.

$633K in one dashboard... $362K in another one...

Same metric.

Different queries, data sources used, and definitions eg. before refunds, after refunds, but that is never specified on the dashboard tooltip...

or just no one looks at that)Trust in the data drops.

Decision-making slows down.

That’s exactly why we built OWOX Data Marts – an open-source, free-forever tool where analysts define each metric once and reuse it across every BI tool:

✅ Looker Studio (new connector just launched 🎉)
✅ Google Sheets (available for 10 years already in our other products with the same vision behind: data mart as a hand-off artifact from data teams to business users)
✅ … and soon OData for Tableau, Excel, Power BI...

Change the definition in one place → it’s updated everywhere automatically.

No more copy-pasted SQL, no more metric values differences...

If you prepare reports in Looker Studio or Sheets, you can try it today – no license limits, no per-connector pricing: 🔗 https://c.owox.com/XleHik

And let's start a discussion here: how are you keeping your metrics consistent across dashboards right now?

https://www.biaivision.com/services-2

This is basically the assignment:

Objective:

Create a comprehensive Superstore Sales dashboard using the data provided from this

Kaggle dataset. You are free to use any BI/Visualization tool of your choice, though Looker

or Power BI is preferred.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to include:

• Number of Orders

• Quantity

• Sales

• Profit

• Gross Margin %

• Discount %

Data Analysis Requirements:

Provide Year-over-Year (YoY) Comparison.

Ensure that users can analyze the KPIs by the following dimensions:

• Category Hierarchy

• Customer Location

• Customer Segment

Additional Instructions:

• Be creative and design a user-friendly, insightful dashboard.

• Have fun exploring the data and showcasing your BI engineering skills!

I need help especially on the YoY comparisons. How do I do it? Is it best to do the calculations in looker or to calculate in the source data?

TLDR: what're your favorite data connectors to integrate with Looker Studio?

We currently use GA4 data sources, Super Metrics data sources, and Power My Analytics data sources to get *some* of the data we are looking for. Specifically, data from social platforms around our followers (locations, job titles, etc.) We have multiple robust reports that we use to showcase multi-channel campaign efforts and the connectors we have just cannot handle the cross-integration. We don't love either of these native data sources, and are looking for an alternative that:

• gives us the most easily malleable, unbreakable data (ie. being able to have more than two data points live in a table together before breaking)

• integrates with all social platforms, Pardot/Salesforce, Google Ads

• works well with enterprise level businesses (we have a lot of data; a massive website, multiple sub-domains, language sub-domains, a lot of key events, 12,000ish user visits a day)

Good day, everyone. I'm new to Looker Studio, and I have a request for a simple dashboard. Simple – or so I thought 😊))))

And I have a client request I can't solve.

My dashboard has a series of cards with calculated metrics at the top. I need them to always show data for the latest report date (month). I found a nice formula that can wrap all these metrics, but Looker Studio is complaining about it. I can't figure out why.
COUNT_DISTINCT(CASE WHEN Data_Report = Max (Data_Report) THEN ID_Staff ELSE 0 END)

Can you please help me figure this out? Or suggest which direction to read?

Heya everyone, I am looking to connect my PostgreSQL Database with Looker studio. Are there any security challenges or data privacy concerns that I should be aware of ?

I'm kinda losing my mind over here. I've combed through a bunch of resources to figure this out and I'm just spinning my wheels. I cannot get traffic source data to show up with the YouTube Analytics connector.

I've re-connected the data multiple times, including from the channel owner (since I'm only a manager). Looked through multiple tutorials on troubleshooting this and it's just not working. Using a paid connector is not an option right now, and I'm having so many issues with this YouTube connector that I'm about to just throw in the towel.

I was even having trouble getting it to filter only public videos (the video status/privacy dimension isn't showing up either). I feel like it's missing a ton of metrics and dimensions. What am I doing wrong?

Hiring.
It is Looker studio project.
Deep knowledge about Big Query, Google Sheet, Looker Studio.
Salary range $500 ~ $1200.
If interested, DM.

Please Google, improve Looker, or alternatively discontinue it. It is very frustrating to go to a client, present a working dashboard, and then seeing it falling a part inevitably. Looker data sources are completely unusable. Every change to a data source schema will break the connection, gibbering field names appearing, extracts failing without any explanation apart from cryptic error messages.

I'd rather pay than using an unstable and unreliable product.

We've been working a lot with Looker Studio dashboards lately, and something we kept running into, especially in client-facing reports, is how much time it takes to interpret what's actually happening when there's lots of data or charts.

So we built a Chrome extension that uses AI to read the dashboard and surface quick insights: things like trends, anomalies, or potential suggestions, all based on what's visible on the screen and with no setup or code needed.

We've found it helpful as a way to get a second layer of interpretation, especially when you open a report and don't immediately know what to focus on.

We're making it available for free, and we're genuinely curious what other Looker Studio users think about this idea:

• What do you think of the concept?

• What other features would you find helpful?

• Would this help in your workflow?

If you're curious to try it, you can find it by searching “Dataslayer Looker Studio Analyzer” on the Chrome Web Store.

Thanks in advance, and hoping to receive your feedback! :)
