Questions tagged [looker]

Use this tag for questions concerning use of the Looker platform or its modeling language, LookML.

The Looker data platform is a web-based service for data exploration, analysis, and reporting with built-in version control and security features. Google announced in June 2019 that it would acquire Looker Data Sciences.

LookML is a declarative data modeling language somewhat similar to YAML or JSON that defines relationships in relational databases so that users of the Looker platform can explore data without writing SQL.

Components of LookML and their related SQL concepts:

  • dimension (column)
  • measure (aggregation)
  • view (table)
  • explore (join)
  • model (database)

Data types peculiar to LookML include:

  • duration
  • yesno (equivalent to boolean)
  • location
