It is accessible only for Admins, for other users this option is grayed.

Swap Dataset

Allows you to replace the dataset currently powering the chart with another dataset. For more information, refer to Field Description.

Note

Warning! Changing the dataset may break the chart if the chart relies on columns or metadata that does not exist in the target dataset.

Field Description

Field

Connection

The database connection associated with the dataset. It specifies which data source the dataset is linked to.

Owner

The user or team who created or manages the dataset. Ownership indicates accountability and often controls who can edit or modify the dataset.

View in SQL Lab

Opens the raw SQL query that powers the dataset/chart in a SQL editor.

Lets you to perform the below actions:

  • Inspect the actual query running behind the visualization

  • Modify or extend the SQL for more complex logic

  • Validate the query results before applying them back into the dataset or chart

Useful for power users who need transparency and control over the exact query execution.

    Field

    Description

    Dimensions

    Dimensions contain qualitative values such as names, dates or geographical data. Use dimensions to categorize, segment, and reveal the details in your data. Dimensions affect the level of detail in the view.

    Metrics

    Select one or many metrics to display. You can use an aggregation function on a column o write custom SQL to create a metric.

    Percentage Metrics

    Select one or many metrics to display, that will be displayed in the percentages of total. Percentage metrics will be calculated only from data within the row limit. You can use an aggregation function on a column or write custom SQL to create a percentage metric.

    Filters

    Drag and drop columns or metrics here in the Filters.

    Sort Query by

    Orders the query result that generates the source data for this chart. If a series or row limit is reached this determines what data are truncated. If undefined, defaults to the first metric (where appropriate).

    Server Pagination

    Select Server Pagination to enable server side pagination of results.

    Row Limit

    Limits the number of rows that are computed in the query that is the source of the data used for this chart.
