TOP REVIEWS FROM ANALYZING AND VISUALIZING DATA IN LOOKER
Clear and lightweight intro to core analysis and visualization features in Looker.
Good overview of Looker from the perspective of a business consumer and report builder (This course does not cover the administration or data modelling side of things in the background)
Insightful, hope it'll usefull for my future career. Thanks.
5 stars, but still could be better - the last two modules felt a little off - because if you did previous two labs you already know the material.
