📺 New Looker-Focused Webinar Series!

📺 New Looker-Focused Webinar Series Hi everyone! The team at Spectacles is excited to announce our new Looker-focused webinar series. Every two weeks we’ll be getting together to do a deep dive into some area of Looker and analytics. They will be scheduled for Wednesdays at 12pm ET. Each session will be recorded so you can also watch it in your own time if you can’t make the session. The idea for the sessions is to regularly get the Looker community together in the same place and talk about actual hands-on experience with Looker. If you have something that you would be interested in presenting, we would love to hear from you! 🙏 Our first session will be on November 30th. We’ll be talking about How To Fix Your LookML Project Structure, including how to use refinements to keep your code DRY and manageable. You can register for the webinar here 👈. We’ve got the next five webinars already scheduled. You can always see all upcoming webinars on this page. The topics include:Managing Mult

What should the structure of your productized analytics solution be?

Did you know that companies with analytics capabilities are twice as likely as those without them to rank in the top quarter of their industries' financial performance? I'd venture to say that you want to see your clients prosper. A data offering might make sense given that analytics might aid in their success.But where do I begin? It takes a lot of work to figure out how to productize your data. Tripp Shroom are also selling cannabis products like penis envy spores. Here we prefer our customer to take it easy.

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?

Learning Liftoff - Data ChallengeChallenge

It’s finally happened: Looker learning paths are off the ground and hopefully you’re already experiencing the benefits of so much Looker knowledge coalesced into one central hub! In honor of liftoff, we thought it would be fun to offer a little data challenge to kickstart your learning journey and participation in this Community Group! After all, there’s really no better way to elevate your skills than to roll up those sleeves and dive into a dataset. The challenge, should you choose to accept it: Start with this Look. You’ll find a trove of flight data points with some fields and filters already selected. Once you take a look at what’s already been built here, select ‘Edit’ and continue to rework and make it your own. Get creative! What kind of interesting insights can you gather and visualize that include the fields we’ve pre-selected? For bonus credit: clear out the Look by hitting ‘clear all’ and create a Look from scratch.
