Richer interactivity in Data Studio
To start 2019, the Data Studio team added a number of new features to allow for faster insights and richer reporting. Today, we’ll highlight some of these recent launches.
Interactive Charts
We’re extending Data Studio’s filtering capabilities directly into our charts. Editors can now turn any chart into a filter that filters other charts.
