Frequently asked questions
Can Looker Studio filter out NULL rows itself?+
Yes, with a filter control, but it is better to clean the source data before loading so the NULL records never enter the dataset.
Does removing blank rows affect my metric calculations?+
Blank rows contain no real values, so removing them corrects aggregations rather than skewing them.
Is there a row limit on the free tier?+
Free handles up to 2,000 rows. Pro removes the limit for larger BI datasets.
