Hi all,
Just a quick share of this post on reusable data sources in Looker Studio that I wrote up recently. A common misstep I see when helping folks with Looker Studio is that they connect their BigQuery tables to multiple embedded data sources and don't take advantage of the common semantic layer you get when using a reusable data source. Hope you enjoy the read!

Thanks, Marcos! What a simple and amazing improvement to what we've been doing (copying reports to keep calculated fields from the copied report- very hard to keep organized). Really appreciate you sharing this and looking forward to the Substack!

Thanks again,

Max

Marcos,

Great post. Thanks for sharing. Being able to reuse the calculated fields in other reports is a huge time-saver!
