If you’re building reports for teams and want consistent numbers across dashboards, our Looker Training in Chennai at Ascents Learning is designed for practical, job-ready BI work. We don’t just teach the interface. We teach how Looker is used in real companies—where metrics must be defined once, reused everywhere, and validated before stakeholders rely on them.
In this Looker Training in Chennai, you’ll learn LookML step by step: creating views, designing explores, writing dimensions and measures, and setting up joins correctly so totals don’t inflate. You’ll also work on dashboard building—filters, drill-downs, scheduling, and alerts—so your reporting becomes self-serve and easy to maintain. Along the way, we cover basic governance patterns, naming standards, validation checks, and performance-friendly modeling.
What you’ll learn
- Looker fundamentals: projects, content structure, explores, dashboards
- LookML modeling: views, explores, joins, timeframes, measures
- Derived tables basics and common modeling patterns
- Dashboards: tiles, filters, drill paths, sharing & scheduling
- QA + governance: validation, metric consistency, best practices
Who should join
Data analysts, MIS/reporting professionals, SQL developers, BI teams, and freshers in Chennai who want strong BI foundations.
