In this 1-day course, you learn how to do the kind of data exploration and analysis in Looker that would formerly be done primarily by SQL developers or analysts. You learn to leverage Looker's modern analytics platform to find and explore relevant content in your organization’s Looker instance. You also discover how to ask questions of your data, create new metrics as needed, and build and share visualizations and dashboards to facilitate data-driven decision-making.
