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.
  • Data structure. Add table metadata to make tables easier to work with.
  • 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.
  • 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.

See Data Studio docs.
