My Experience Switching From Power BI to Looker

When I started using Looker at my current job, I was surprised at how little useful information there was about it online.

Search for “Looker,” and you’ll mostly find content about Looker Studio, which is an entirely different tool.

I was not able to find an authentic and practical review comparing Power BI with Looker (not Looker Studio), so I decided to create one based on my experience with both.
