Questions overview

Questions overview

Questions are queries plus their visualization. You can ask questions using Metabase's graphical query builder, or create a native/SQL query.

Query builder

An introduction to Metabase's graphical query builder.

Custom expressions, like spreadsheet formulas, are tools you can use in the graphical query builder to ask more complicated questions.

A list of the aggregations and functions available in the graphical query builder.

You can join data to combine your current data with another table, or even with a saved question.

Native query editor

Also known as the SQL editor (we say native because you can also query databases that don't use SQL, like MongoDB).

Write native code (like SQL) to query your data source.

Pass parameters into variables in your SQL templates.

Reuse and share bits of SQL.

Sharing results

There are many different ways to share the results of questions. To share the results of a dashboard, see Dashboard subscriptions.

Save questions, download results, and share links.

Choose from a variety of visualization types.

Get results via email or Slack, either on a schedule, or only when something interesting happens.

Create links or embeds for the good people of the internet.

The different ways you can export the results of questions and dashboards.
