Designing the perfect model

What is the best approach when you have billions of rows in one table, should I make a star schema and make aggregation views on those fact table and dimensions and after that connect looker to those aggregations or should I connect looker to the one big table with all columns?

How to Combine Two Tables With No Shared Dimensions?

Hi all, Hopefully the infographic I made should explain what I want to do at-a-glance. But to explain, I have multiple data sources in Looker for marketing data that I want to combine. I’m stumped because there are no shared dimensions, and I need to combine the tables by metrics rather than dimenions. One source is Google Ads, which has multiple campaigns with different names. Here we track mentions called “clicks” and “impressions,” plus others. Another source sis called Facebook Ads, which also has multiple campaigns called “clicks” and “impressions,” among others, as well. I would like like to combine these in one table. In Excel, this would be done with a simple copy-paste. I’m unsure how to do it in Looker. Can anyone help?

Combining data from multiple tables in a new table

Hi all,I’m having to use a filter on Conversion Type Name to separate some offline conversions vs general conversions within All Conv. You can only filter the entire data set at once as opposed to the specific metric - if I could do that, I could add All Conv. twice and filter then differently. So now I have two pages, two tables, all KPIs are the same (imp, clicks, CTR etc) except for the conversion. I’d like to combined the tables so I have both types of conversion in the same table, each in it’s own column then create further conversion KPIs. Is this possible in Looker? Easy in sheets I know but trying to avoid using that for now. Thanks

SEO multilingual dashboard

Hello. I am new to this but basically I want to build a dashboard on looker to keep track of my SEO impressions, users, (etc.) by languages. My website is built like thisxxx.com/ => FR urlsxxx.com/en => EN urls (the hompage is .com/en and the other pages are .com/en/...)I would like to know what kind of filters or whatever should I use to create separate dashboards based on the URL structure (.com/ and .com/en), using different types of data (GSC, Analytics). I am sure there are formulas available however I can’t find them. Thanks.

cross filter management (date range comparisons)

I have a bar chart with monthly totals (pageviews) and am using a cross filter to show monthly details of other metrics when selected. I have a table including running calculations for each month (month over month percentage changes for each metric). When the month is selected, I want only that month to appear in the table but the table calculations not to change. For example, when July is selected I want to the table to display the percentage changes compared to the previous month (june) instead of compared to itself (as that is the only data not filtered out).

Uncertain on Best Practices for Aggregations

Hi all,I’m new to Looker and come from a background of mostly using Tableau where my team used to create a ton of aggregation tables and link those to Tableau to display on a dashboard for stakeholders. What I’m trying to understand with Looker is if it’s efficient to continue with this practice of creating aggregate tables on my db for pretty much any view we’d like to report on and then having Looker pick it up OR because of LookerML is it more efficient to bring in the raw tables and create the aggregate views on Looker?
