Data Studio

Data Studio provides tools to shape and track your data so everyone can trust the numbers.

• Create an easy-to-understand semantic layer to match how people think about your business.
• Speed up queries by transforming tables to anticipate usage patterns.
• View dependency graphs to identify and fix problems before they impact reports.

What’s in Data Studio

• Library*: A curated space for your organization’s most trusted analytics content—tables, metrics, and SQL snippets that your data team recommends.
• Managing tables: Add table metadata to make tables easier to work with.
• Segments: Create saved filters on tables so people can use consistent definitions when building queries.
• Measures: Create saved aggregations on tables so people can use consistent calculations when building queries.
• Glossary: Define terms relevant to your business, both for people and agents trying to understand your data.
• Dependency graph*: A visual map of how your content connects, so you can understand the impact of changes before you make them.
• Dependency diagnostics*: See which items have broken dependencies, or that aren’t used.
• Replace data sources*: Swap out a table or model across all content that uses it, in one operation.
• Transforms: Wrangle your data in Metabase, write the query results back to your database, and reuse them in Metabase as sources for new queries.

* Available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
