Looker Business Analyst case studies
Looker Business Analyst · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Looker Business Analyst credential is aimed at analysts and BI practitioners who use Looker to model data, build Explores, design dashboards, and share governed insights with business stakeholders. It sits within the business intelligence and data analytics area of the Google Cloud product catalog, where Looker is described as a platform for BI, data applications, and embedded analytics. The exam is organized around four equally weighted domains: Business Intelligence and Looker Fundamentals; Data Modeling and LookML; Explore and Visualization Design; and Analysis, Sharing, and Governance. Expect questions that test whether you can translate a business question into a well-governed LookML model and a clear, trustworthy visualization rather than merely recall menu locations.
