When I tried to type in the data field for referral traffic, it doesn't show me the correct websites when I set my date range. I aligned it with Google Analytics directly but it just isn't adding up. To get to referral traffic it would be Acquisition > All Traffic > Referrals. To view my top pages visited I generally go to Behavior > Overview and it will display the top pages visited in the selected date range. Is there a way to add this data field to Data Studio? All help will be appreciated.
Yes, @Florian_May. Thanks, I saw your previous thread as well. It's a good effort. Involves a lot of work as well. I am not well versed in R, so I am thinking of adopting some different approach. One of the options is to push data to a google sheet and pull it in GDS. But that involves manual work on GDS side, which will not give live dashboard option. Another option is to have an intermediate hop of MySQL server, where ODK Central will dump data from one end, and GDS will have live connectivity from the other. I have just started to explore if it is workable to do, although it kills the idea of connectivity ease from ODK Central side.
Once connected, you'll move through to the data modelling screen in Google Data Studio. This is where you configure the data sources for your reports, before clicking the 'Create Report' button to generate the report. Here's another video to show you how all this works:
from my end, there are several threads here where i describe the process used BUT i take the user data inputs and dump it to a Google Sheet, using the Document Studio add-in I merge the data with a Google Doc template and push it out via a custom email set up inside Document Studio and attach the pdf version of the merged document. This allows me to add some value to their inputs and provide matching industry metrics (based on the industry they select in the questions) etc.
@sarahmcvanel - just to show that is easy enough, try out this assessment (from my data quality world) and if you put in your email address, you will receive a customized report. Once you have your assessment figured out, have created the template for your report (and sketched some of the logic out on napkins), and have your spreadsheet in place (I use Google Sheets) the actual process to set up the merge and mail is really quite simple and quick.
Once you create the notebook, it will open a tab in Azure Data Studio with the notebook. You will notice that it has something called Kernel. The kernel allows you to set the default language used for the notebook. For the work that we are doing we will be using the SQL kernel. This will allow us to execute SQL code against a database. In the Attach to dropdown, you will see databases that you can use to execute code. The Cell dropdown allows you to add cells which can contain code or text.
Congratulations, you have created your first notebook with executable code against a SQL Server database! You can continue to add more text cells and code cells as needed. One of the reasons I like this pattern is that it allows me to execute the code without having to highlight it while doing demos. Each cell can be run independently. You will also notice there is a Run All button if you choose to run all the scripts at the same time that you have in your notebook. This could be valuable if you have a set of maintenance operations or related items you want to run and you have collected in a notebook for use.
I feel I would be remiss if I did not also demonstrate what happens when you get data results in a notebook. In my case I have a database I can connect to which has WideWorldImporters loaded into it. I am going to select the top 1000 rows from the DimSupplier table. Once I run the code cell, I get the rows affected, the execution time, and a table with results as shown here:
As you can see in the results window, you have several export options and a chart option that you can use to further visualize or work with the data that you have retrieved. I would encourage you to explore these options as it depends on the type of data you are working with whether they work well for you or not. For example, supplier data does not chart very well, whereas if I had used fact data there may have been some interesting charting options. A notebook could be a straightforward way to demonstrate some simple reporting for a technically savvy audience.
For those of you who are not sure about using notebooks, this is an effective way to build your skills while not trying to learn a new language if you are familiar with SQL. My first exposure was using Python in a Databricks environment. That was much to learn while also trying to understand how notebooks functioned. As the data environment continues to expand and require new skill sets, understanding how to use and leverage notebooks on a regular basis is a good skill to have. Microsoft has done us a great favor by using standard Jupyter notebooks which are used in data science, Databricks, and other areas of data practice.

Over the weekend I was doing some development on a project at home. I've use SQL Server 2019 Developer edition on an old machine. Anyway, I was presented with a notice as I got into Azure Data Studio, about an update to ADS, which affects connections to SQL Server using ADS and also affecting Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, which would (I think) affect Entity Framework. It will require a certificate to make the connection. I think this is a good idea, but I can hear the ranting and raving of my coworkers, once they learn of this. Anyway, I'm wondering if any of you have encountered this and if I've interpreted this correctly? Here's the URL I was directed to when I tried connecting to my local SQL Server Dev Edition: -us/sql/azure-data-studio/connect?view=sql-server-ver16
First time I've hit. Just a little test, since I'm only running on a local machine with a container for a database, turning off Encrypt and you don't need the certificate. I'm not saying that's a good choice outside the scenario I'm in, but it is a choice.
Thank you everyone for your feedback. You're correct, Ken, that in our environment our databases are primarily on-prem, so using Trust server certificate is working. We are moving some of our databases into Azure VMs, so I'm not sure if that will change things or not.
ps FYI I have just learnt that our sysadmin team now have a CA server from which to issue certificates for our LAN. They are also happy to handle the certificate rotation. It seems this push towards multi level security is being driven by our insurers and the need for certification to handle certain types of third party data. As a similar nudge could happen in your environment it seems Microsoft were correct to change the default connection settings.
I always needed a way or tool to write/update my dashboard data saved in GS and finally I had one. Later, I discovered this community forum and learned more tricks and right procedures to create relations and solutions and as you can see, I am still here!
You can use this 3rd party solution on the Keap Marketplace to get all your data (including all sales data with traffic source) into Google Analytics, and then you can read that data inside Google Data Studio.

Data Studio is embeddable, yes, however Web Content Widgets have not yet been updated to allow the new domain of lookerstudio.google.com. The team is looking into this URL change and I should have an update for you soon.
We remain dedicated to our community and have developed capabilities like community connectors, which allows you to connect to your many different data sources, and custom report templates, which enables you to build custom reports and easily share your solutions. Features like these have helped grow our ecosystem and make Data Studio more impactful for more people.
When you want to use data collected by Piwik PRO and mix it with other data in Looker Studio (Google Data Studio), you need to integrate one product with another. The integration uses a community connector for Looker Studio and is easy to set up. After the integration is complete, you can comfortably build reports and dashboards in Looker Studio.
Note: If you see data differences between Piwik PRO and Looker Studio, it may be because you used some transformations in Looker Studio. These transformations may aggregate data differently than Piwik PRO, hence the differences.
Tip: You can also use Looker Studio Explorer to explore your data using a single chart (Looker Data Studio > Data sources > Choose your data source from Piwik PRO > Explore).
