My friend Francois Pelletier recently said:
“SQL takes 3 hours to learn, it’s not a skill, it’s an afternoon 😉
Knowing how to build sustainable data models in SQL databases, so that everyone can use them after the 3 hour training, that’s a skill.”
I used to extensively use Analytics Canvas in my work, then my consulting shifted slightly and I haven’t used it in a long while. With this new feature, James Standen is bringing an amazingly powerful feature to the table (pun intended!): build #BigQuery #SQL requests from #GA4 tables.
As I commented on his original post, even the most die-hard analysts I know wouldn’t be able to create those very complex queries efficiently, without errors, and optimized for speed and cost.
Couple this with Yuliia Tkachova Masthead Data #dataobservability solution and you’ll just have significantly upscaled your #dataqualty and #digitalanalytics maturity!
