Have you been looking for a source for Data Studio examples, free templates, tutorials or videos? Try the new Google Data Studio Interactive Resource finder
You can spend hours trying to find the resources you need – I found myself trolling through the web over and over , looking for inspiration, instruction and templates that could be reused. Sound familiar?
The problem was no one has yet pulled together an extensive, curated collection of examples, reusable templates, videos and other training resources.
Well now there is! And it is built using Google Data Studio itself! You can do so much more than just web reporting with this tool. Very “Meta”, right?
