LINK QWIKLABS 04:30:00
Overview
Looker is a modern data platform in Google Cloud that lets you analyze and visualize your data interactively. You can use Looker to do in-depth data analysis, integrate insights across different data sources, build actionable data-driven workflows, and create custom data applications.
In this lab, you learn how to use Looker to analyze and visualize data using Explores, which are data views created by LookML developers. For this lab, an Explore of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) airports and flights data has been created for you. This dataset contains information on different attributes of airports and flights, such as city and departure date.
You can learn more about Explores in the Looker documentation at https://docs.looker.com/exploring-data/exploring-data.
