Business Intelligence with Looker Cookbook

Practical Looker skills, organized recipe by recipe

Business Intelligence with Looker Cookbook is built for readers who want to do real work in Looker, not just read about it. Khrystyna Grynko brings together the everyday tasks that BI teams run into when building data models, creating Explores, shaping dashboards, and sharing insights in a way that feels usable and immediate.

The cookbook format keeps the pace brisk. Instead of a single long narrative, the book breaks Looker into focused, task-based recipes, making it easier to find the exact topic you need and apply it in context. That structure is especially helpful if you are learning Looker on the job or returning to a specific feature after some time away.

What the book covers

• Getting started with Looker and setting up access
• Connecting Looker to data and working with Git
• Building LookML projects, views, and models
• Using Explores, custom fields, filters, pivots, and visualizations
• Designing dashboards and adding interactive elements
• Serving dashboards and working with dynamic behavior

A strong fit for BI practitioners

The content is aimed at business analysts, data analysts, and BI developers who want a practical, hands-on understanding of Looker. It assumes some basic business intelligence knowledge, then moves into the tools and workflows that matter when you are turning data into something people can actually use.

Why it stands out

Looker can feel broad at first, especially when you are moving between modeling, exploration, and dashboard delivery. This book keeps those pieces connected. That makes it useful not only as an introduction, but also as a day-to-day reference for common Looker tasks and decision points.

If you work with Looker and want a structured, implementation-focused guide, this ebook belongs on your shortlist.
