  • API Explorer. Introducing the next-generation interactive API reference documentation. 

  • Forecasting. Users can extrapolate their Explore data to predict future results, even factoring seasonality into results. Forecasting is available for Cartesian charts and data tables, with downloadable forecasting results.

  • Enhanced Alerts. When the Enhanced Alerts Labs feature is enabled, users and admins can access additional information about alerts they own or are following. Now, most changes made to the alert’s underlying dashboard or tile will sync with alert conditions.

Hey Lesley, 

Super excited to hear about forecasting in the new Looker newsletter! A lot of companies have asked me about Looker’s ability to help with data predictions so they can become more proactive instead of reactive! 

Can’t wait to see the unique ways Looker customers will implement this feature!
