TOP REVIEWS FROM ANALYZING AND VISUALIZING DATA IN LOOKER

by TPNov 4, 2021

Clear and lightweight intro to core analysis and visualization features in Looker.

by MROct 22, 2021

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)

by BRJan 23, 2022

Insightful, hope it'll usefull for my future career. Thanks.

by BPOct 21, 2021

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.
