Create is where a report starts — describe what you want, or compose the query yourself.

​
What’s on the page

A resizable workspace. Every divider drags, and your layout is remembered between visits. The conversation opens on What would you like to know? — ask about cost, usage or adoption, and refine it in follow-ups while the chart keeps up. The box reads Ask anything about your data…, and starting points are offered to select, such as Show me total cost by model. In Build, an empty breakdown reads No breakdown (total), and Add a filter condition adds a filter.

​
Filters and controls

Build composes the query from the metrics, dimensions and filters your data offers. A field whose values are a fixed set offers a pick list of up to 100 values — so on a field with more than that, a value you want may not be listed. Every other field takes a value you type, a number, or a date. The Configuration pane carries the chart type — Bar Chart, Line Chart, Pie Chart or Table — the X and Y columns it is drawing (shown, not chosen), a title you can set for each axis, Swap Axes, and, on a stacked bar chart, what it is stacked by.
A query returns at most 10,000 rows, and says nothing when it hits that. The result is simply cut at ten thousand — no message, no marker on the chart. A wide date range or a fine-grained dimension can therefore draw a chart from part of the data while looking complete. Query complete - n rows returned is the check: if n is exactly 10000, narrow the range, aggregate at a coarser grain, or add a filter, and confirm the count moves.

​
What you can do

The two approaches work together: ask for roughly what you want, click the chart that comes back to pin it, then adjust the generated query by hand for the last detail.
