Google just made Data Studio ready for Big Data
Now you can build Reports with more Dimensions and Metrics
After Data Studio was able to upgrade its product in the last weeks, especially with new connectors, there is now another great news: Data Studio can now display up to 100 dimensions and metrics — before it was significantly less. This makes Data Studio much more powerful for me.
You can now visualize up to 100 dimensions and 100 metrics for tables based on “flexible schema” data sources, such as Sheets or BigQuery. (For Data sources based on “fixed schemas”, such as Ads and Google Analytics, you can have 10 dimensions and 20 metrics.) — Google [1]
Even though I’m more fan of presenting dashboards clearly and not overwhelming the user with too much data, but rather aggregating data, there may still be use cases where you need to present large amounts of data in tables. For example, for reports in the area of finance, controlling or internal audit. Here, for example, financial documents with hundreds of columns have to be controlled.
And this is exactly where Data Studio improved itself by allowing more data to be displayed…
