Redshift to Looker Studio Integration

Coupler.io makes the Redshift to Looker Studio integration a hands-off experience. It allows you to gather data from multiple sources and send it to Power BI. In this particular case, let’s have an overview of how to transfer data from Redshift to Looker Studio.

Step 1: Collect data
The first step is to connect and set up your Redshift account in Coupler.io. Provide the following details requested on the form:

• Report type. The Table or view option is selected by default. You can pick up another option from the list to retrieve data from Redshift.
• Schema. Indicate the type of schema that will be used for data export.
• Table/view. Type the table or view name from which the data needs to be extracted.

Step 2: Organize and transform
Before you export Redshift to Looker Studio, it’s a good practice to prepare it for visualization and analysis. Have a look at your data and think of whether it needs to be adjusted.

• Customize your columns by editing their names, changing their order, or hiding unnecessary columns.
• Apply filtering and sorting criteria to organize data.
• Create new columns with new metrics using mathematical formulas.
• Append Redshift tables with data from other apps.

These transformations ensure your dataset is ready for reporting and analysis upon import into Looker Studio.

Step 3: Load and schedule refresh
At this stage, you need to authorize access to your Google account. Follow the on-screen instructions in the Destination tab to connect to Looker Studio and generate a report.



Save and run the importer to start the data integration processes. Consider automatic data updates if you want to generate up-to-date reports in Looker Studio.

With Coupler.io, you can organize data transfers from Redshift to Google on a regular basis. Its automated data refresh feature also greatly contributes to smart reporting and analytics. Supply your Looker Studio with data as frequently as every 15 minutes to have the latest data at your fingertips. That way, you will get almost near-real-time reports and insights into your business. Otherwise, you can set the exact day of the week and time for sending data to Looker Studio reports. Overall, scheduling with Coupler.io enhances the reliability and accuracy of your analysis.
