Getting Started w/ Metabase | Open Source Data Visualization Tool

Metabase is a data visualization tool, but open source!

It is similar to other data viz tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Looker but a bit more scaled down.

It's intended primarily for data visualization vs more intense analytics needs.

But, you can still do a lot with Metabase and there are many scenarios where it can be sufficient for your needs.

It allows you to create custom dashboards, send reports out on a subscription and much more.

In today's video I'll show you step by step how to start using this tool on your local machine.

There is a cloud hosted option, but I want to help you try this great tool without paying anything extra.

Thank you for watching!

Hi,
This video is awesome.
I am using snowflake plus Metabase at work.
But for learning purpose on my personal laptop I would like to connect Metabase with a local database server like SQL Server or Postgres. Can you create a small video on how to setup connection between Metabase and (SQL Server or Postgres or MySQL).

If I have a sql server database and I want to connect to it in Metabase and create a dashboard, and I want the dashboard to be live (the visuals refresh automatically when new data comes in the database), similar to Direct Query in Power BI, is that possible in Metabase?

[politicalpapanaidu]

Can i extract those login details.
Any help on this!!

Hey, I've got a question. I plan to make a dashboard of my data using Metabase, but is it possible to share that dashboard publicly, maybe through a link or something else? Thank you!

No entiendo porque todo el mundo no habla de esto

[brianwoodruff]

Okay, I'm not crazy. The audio IS OUT OF SYNC for this particular video and it's making it nearly impossible to watch this video.
