Tableau now has a Google Looker Connector #dataanalysis #tableau #salesforce

0:00Google Looker Connector combined the robust data modeling of Google Looker with Tableau's industry leading visualization.

0:06Now for a history lesson, Google Looker is actually a competing visualization capability

0:12from Google.

0:13But one thing it has is a way of building semantic models using something called LookML.

0:18Now look ML is proprietary to the Google lookup platform

0:22So what happens is organizations have Google Look for various reasons.

0:26There are actually some parts of Google that require LookML to process and work with big datasets.

0:33And what this allows you to do is to put Tableau on top of that.

0:36So if we just read through this, combine the robust data modeling of Google Looker with Tableau's industry leading visualization.

0:43So here you're letting Google do all the semantic modeling.

0:47And Tableau is during the visualizations.

0:49Organizations can now instantly access their governed looker data within Tableau, no manual exports required.

0:55This allows business analysts to visualize pre-model data in Tableau using Looker's business rules.

1:00enabling a seamless workflow across both platforms.

1:03So really nice time saver again generally available in cloud, desktop and tableau prep.

1:09Actually that's quite nice.

1:10You can bring them into Tableau Prep

1:11Tableau prep lets you prep data so you can actually do some additional, let's say, data prep on top of the Google Looker connection.

1:17That's actually quite a nice little touch.

1:19So yeah.
