Perhaps the best intro I've seen to Looker. Precise, clear, structured and well paced. Keep it up

The best video summary of how to get started - way better then Looker docs online - a huge thank you from me !

So the Created Date filter that was added to the Dashboard at the end of the video is overriding the individual Created Date filters that already exist on and were being applied to both underlying Looks?

Hi, this video is great to know how to start!! Thank for sharing!

I'm still facing an issue when trying to create a Dashboard. Using SQL Runner in Looker, I run a script and created a visualization. Now I don't see the option "Save & Add to Dashboard" when I cleck on the setting gear at the top-right, as shown in this video (minute 13:36), so I was wondering is it a permissions issue or am I missing something.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I need to create sparkline in table in Looker. Any suggestions?

[augustocardoso]

Is there any query or table size limits when connecting Looker to PostgreSQL databases? In Looker Studio there's the 150K rows limit, for instance

[shyama]

I don't see Google sheets as option in the drop down at 0:52 - or in my own looker instance. any ideas?

Hi Anika, I read somewhere that it doesn't have Data Source Connectors. Is it right?

Just want to write a sql query and make a dashboard. Where is this "Add to dashboard" button. Work at a company with 1000s of people, no one knows. Just deprecate looker already. its trash
