Week 6 work

 This week chapter 7 was assigned. 

Chapter 7 was focused on “Looker Data Studio” Which is a powerful data visualization tool, that was developed by Google. This platform helps users turn data into interactive, dashboards, and reports, this allows analyzation to be easier. Some of the common data sources that Looker Studio uses are  BigQuery, Google analytics, and other Google sources. The dragon drop interface allows, transforming data into charts, tables, maps, and other visualizations easy. Looker Studio is a popular platform, mainly because of its easy integration with other Google products, easy to use interface, and ability to remain free to the public. It is used by small and medium sized businesses, and more. Looker Studio connect to multiple different data sources, allows filtering, calculations, and cleaning up the data. The dashboards are interactive, reports can be customized, and collaboration is easy with sharing. In comparison with Tableau it is just about the same amount of helpful. Tableau is also a popular data visualization tool, but it does have differences. One of them being it is not free, but it does connect to many different data sources, while Looker Studio strongly integrates with Google services. cargo is another popular platform mentioned in this chapter. It provides free datasets, tutorials, and community. Navigating the platforms were a bit tricky for me, but I was able to visualize the “Rio Olympics Data”, which was fun.
