    • Ask questions like “@Metabot hey what’s our revenue” directly from Slack

Querying and visualization

  • Metrics explorer and new metrics home page.

    • Metrics get a new home page to edit the metric’s definition and configure its settings.
    • Metrics explorer lets you compare different measures and metrics across dimensions, add filters, and specify breakouts
    • Visit a metric to see the home page, and click on Explore (or append /explore to your instance URL) to check it out;

  • Replace data sources (Pro/enterprise only)

    • Swap all occurrences of a data source X to the data source Y.
    • To try out, go to Data Studio > Dependencies, search for data source to replace, and click on

  • Stacked bar/line/area/scatter graphs.

    • Visualize multiple series as facets/trellis/stacked charts, instead of stacking the series themselves.
    • in visualization settings, toggle on “Split series into panels”.

  • Freeze columns and rows in table visualization

    • Exactly what you think it is: pick the number of columns or rows to freeze in a table viz, and they’ll stay on the screen while you scroll.

Transforms

  • Transform inspector (Requires the Advanced transforms add-on)

    • Diagnostic view for your transforms, where you can check things like column stats, unmatched rows for joins, value distributions etc.
    • Reminder: transforms were introduced in v59 and let you, well, transform your data inside Metabase and write the results back into your data warehouse.
    • Go to Data Studio > transforms, select a transform, and switch to “Inspect” tab.

  • Replace models with transforms

    • One-click way to swap a model for a transform in your questions.
    • Use this to swap your persisted models for transforms. Transforms are more performant and are supported for the majority of drivers.
    • Go to Data studio > Transforms and click on “Tools”
