Data Studio reports (formerly Looker Studio)
Build Google Analytics reports in Data Studio that don't break at 9am on Monday
Community connectors hit rate limits, sample your data, and lose their auth token overnight. Datanable stores Google Analytics data in BigQuery first, so your report reads from a table instead of hammering the Google Analytics API on every view.

Connect Data Studio to the BigQuery table Templates
Start from a template, or from scratch
For our most-used connectors we maintain a ready-made Data Studio template, already wired to your BigQuery tables. Or start from a blank report: every table is a standard BigQuery data source, so your first chart is only minutes away.

Google Analytics to Data Studio: FAQ
Why not use a community connector for Google Analytics in Data Studio?
Community connectors query the Google Analytics API live on every report load. On large accounts that means throttling, sampling, and slow charts. Datanable syncs the data into BigQuery on a schedule instead.
Can I blend this with other data sources?
Yes. Because everything lands in BigQuery, you can blend Google Analytics tables with any other connector Datanable manages, in the same report.
What happens if I add a second Google Analytics account later?
Add the account in Datanable and it appears as new rows in the same table, no changes needed in the report.
Do I need a Data Studio Pro plan?
No. Datanable works with the free version of Data Studio since it connects like a native BigQuery data source.
What is Google Analytics?
Google Analytics (GA4) is Google's web and app analytics platform. It tracks how visitors reach your site, what they do on it, and which campaigns drive conversions.
Do I have to pay for a Data Warehouse?
No, we provide you with a Managed Data Warehouse that enables ultra-fast dashboards at no additional cost.
Can I use my own Data Warehouse?
Yes, with the Enterprise Plan. Please reach out to us through the contact form.
