How to create a weighted sort with Looker Studio...
...to order dimension values by rates efficiently. A tutorial applicable to any rate in any data source, and inspired by a nice article written few years ago by Yehoshua Coren. With Google Search Console CTR as an example of use case.
Looker Studio companion: obfuscate your confidential data
The new version of Looker Studio Companion - my Chrome extension - is available (v 0.5.1).
You want to show your nice reports without revealing confidential data? To make some screenshots for your reports portfolio? During a meeting or a conference?
2 options have been added in the Settings tab, in addition to the existing feature to obfuscate everything:
- Mix text values
- Mix numeric values
Just-for-fun report: Superweek speakers
I'm super excited to go to Superweek 2024 in 2 weeks, to enjoy 5 days of analytics talks during this unique international conference, and get the opportunity to speak about "Looker Studio learnings & advanced tactics for a non-negotiable exacting results".
So, just for fun and to celebrate the event, I built an interactive report with geo data of the announced speakers using 2 recent Looker Studio features:
- Connection map
- Transposed table, helping me to create a ribbon of speaker photos
There is also a 3rd chart. I let you find where it is ;)
Voilà.
That's all for the moment, but I can tell you that I'm cooking new contents for the blog & new features for the Looker Studio Chrome extension.
So stay tuned ;)
