Key features
Key features
A standalone metrics layer
Looker modeling separates Looker's LookML query engine from the BI consumption layer, enabling it to function as a standalone metrics layer or headless BI server. Customers can build and deploy LookML semantic models for data governance and consume those metric definitions in their BI tool of choice.
Direct integrations with popular visualization tools
Looker modeling metrics can be consumed everywhere, including across popular BI tools such as Connected Sheets, Looker Studio, Looker Studio Pro, Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, and ThoughtSpot.
Freshest data queries to eliminate stale reports
Looker modeling works across cloud databases, querying the freshest data available, avoiding the need to manage data extracts, and helping to minimize the risk of insights and reports (including those that impact financial decisions) being days or weeks out of date.
SQL interface to connect to Looker via JDBC
Looker modeling offers a new SQL interface that allows tools that speak SQL to connect to Looker via JDBC. This new capability is another step toward our vision of making Looker the most open BI platform, bringing trusted data to all types of users through the tools they already use.
Integration with the Google Cloud ecosystem
Looker modeling is deeply integrated with Google Cloud's product family. It is available from the Google Cloud console, offers direct connectivity to BigQuery datasets and more.
