Verify Data in Google Data Studio

While Google Data Studio itself isn't equipped for extensive data cleaning, it offers several methods to verify your data's integrity before crafting visualizations. One key approach is data exploration. By utilizing features like filters and pivoting tables, you can uncover inconsistencies or outliers that might skew your results. Imagine filtering a sales report by region and identifying a sudden spike – this could signal a data entry error or require further investigation.

Another helpful tool is calculated fields. These allow you to create new metrics based on existing data, enabling you to identify anomalies. For instance, you could calculate the difference between a product's listed price and its actual selling price. Significant discrepancies could flag potential pricing errors. While Data Studio excels in visualization, these methods empower you to gain confidence in your data's accuracy before drawing conclusions.
