View the most commonly asked questions about Shape's BigQuery Data Warehouse integration with Data Studio/Looker Studio.
1. I’m receiving an error when I try to edit my report, datapoint, table, or chart/graph?
For a list of the most common errors, the probable cause, and recommended fixes, see our Fixing Common Data Studio Errors help article.
2. Can I combine multiple Data Warehouse views and tables in a single report? Example: Shape Budget_Campaigns table and Archive Campaigns table.
Absolutely! One of the benefits of the Shape Data Warehouse and Google Data Studio/Looker Studio is that you can combine data from multiple tables and views.
Different Data Warehouse tables or views can power different reports/charts. To add a new data source to a report element, create a chart or table. It will automatically be set to the default report-level data source. Remove the data source and click “Create New Data Source” to add a new data source.
Or, you can use blending to combine data from multiple data sources into one chart/table (so long as there are shared dimensions/fields you can use to connect data from the data sources).
To blend two data tables or views, click "+ Blend Data" under the Data Sources section. Click "Add Another Data Source" and select your "join keys" to blend the tables together.
3. Can I combine Shape Data Warehouse data with external Data Sources such as Google Analytics?
Absolutely! You'll need to add the external Data Source to your report. Once you've done that, you can use blending to combine data from multiple data sources into one chart/table (so long as there are shared dimensions/fields you can use to connect data from the data sources).
To blend two data tables or views, click "+ Blend Data" under the Data Sources section. Click "Add Another Data Source" and select your "join keys" to blend the tables together.
5. I have a report that I want to see in Data Studio/Looker Studio. Can you build it for me?
We are happy to review your requests and suggest what Shape Data Warehouse tables/views you may need to create your report request. We don't currently build reports as part of our free Shape Data Warehouse tier.
For further assistance, please contact support@shape.io
4. I have an awesome recommendation for a chart type or feature I want in Data Studio/Looker Studio. Can you build it for me?
We don’t have any control over the features or updates to the Google Data Studio/Looker Studio product itself.
Google accepts feature requests, so if you’d like to recommend a new feature or a change to an existing feature, please submit your ideas here.
5. I’m finding bugs with the Shape Data Warehouse, etc. What should I do?
First, thank you for helping us make our Shape Data Warehouse better. Please report any issues you have to support@shape.io.
We will do our best to remedy the issues as soon as possible. Some bugs may be caused by Data Studio/Looker Studio (as opposed to the Shape Data Warehouse), and we may not be able to remedy these issues. In these cases, we will do our best to explain why and possible workarounds.
