Google has rolled out several updates to Looker Studio, focusing on improved filtering capabilities and connector enhancements to provide users with more precise data analysis options.
Advanced Date and Time Filtering
Report editors have received expanded filtering capabilities for date and time dimensions. The new condition options include:
- Is in the Last - Filter by a specific time period
- Is Before - Set a cutoff date
- Is On or After - Define a starting point
- Is Previous - Filter by previous time periods
- Is This - Focus on current time periods
- Is Next - Filter by upcoming time periods
- Is in the Month - Target specific months
- Is in the Year - Focus on particular years
Looker Connector Improvements
The Looker connector functionality has been enhanced with the addition of a Matches (advanced) filter option, specifically designed for date and time type dimensions. This new feature provides users with more granular control over their data filtering processes.
Search Ads 360 Connector Field Updates
To address naming conflicts, Google has implemented changes to specific New Search Ads 360 connector field names:
The field previously labeled Conv. value is now Client account conv. value, while Conv. value / click has been updated to Client account conv. value / click. It's important to note that the original Conv. value field remains unchanged and maintains its current functionality.
