I would like to add a Google Trends chart for a specific search term to my Google Data Studio report, but Trends is not an option in the Data Source list. I wasn't able to find an option to embed JavaScript either. Is it possible to add a Trends chart to a report in Data Studio? Thanks!
I am posting this workaround as it seems no similar solution has been provided since.
You can actually do this, using a small workaround:
Create the graph you want to embed using Google Trends.
Click the "embed" icon in the upper right corner of the graph, and copy the JS-code (for either desktop or mobile device)
Create a simple empty HTML-file using notepad or similar text editor. (including , , as per common standard). Place it in an empty folder on your hard drive.
Paste the Google Trends-embed code into the section of your HTML-file.
Go to https://app.netlify.com/drop and upload the whole folder (including your .html-file). Copy the direct link provided by Netlify. (note: Any other form of public hosting should work fine, this is just my personal preference)
In Google Data Studio, click "URL embed" and paste your direct link.
Voila!
(Note: As this is a direct graph link and not a data feed, it, unfortunately, won't let you filter or change settings. but if configured wisely before copying the embed code, should do the trick for any time range, year-on-year or similar needs.)
Hope this helps someone :)
You can use supermetrics.com that has a google trends (free) datasource and then import a common sheet into your dashboard, the only problem is that you wont be able to change the date range, meaning its only "one way"
Unfortunately, the Google Trends data connector has stopped working in Supermetrics. They use an unofficial Google API that has been faulty lately.
The connector was removed Dec 2018.

I'm trying to visualize GKE usage metering data using a Data Studio dashboard following the official document.
https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-usage-metering#view_in_data-studio
It says
We created a dashboard you can copy into your project. When you copy the dashboard, you are prompted to select three data sources you just created.
I guess the three data sources means a data source created from the cost breakdown table, gke_cluster_resource_consumption and gke_cluster_resource_usage.
However, when creating a copy from the data studio template, I can choose only one data source.
Am I missing something?
I think the Google documentation is outdated.
However, if you follow the documentation, at the point where you clone the dashboard, it just asks you to create one DataSource (=cost breakdown table). What happens when you select this source? Maybe the error is only in the word "three".
The other two DataSources you mentioned are cited in other part of the document, so I guess they're for other purpose. The Google's dashboard have other linked DataSources, but they're not used.
So, apparently, you need only one DataSource to make this dashboard work.
If this doesn't work, I would say you're out of lucky. Try to ask Google in some community forum to fix their documentation.
I am new to Google BigQuery.
I am now logged into bq console, but the resource window for tables and datasets is too small to navigate and is pinned into bottom left, and its not resizable, please help on how can i unpin the window to navigate it.
It looks like this.
Looks like what you want is something like below
There are many way to accomplish this. I will present two of them
Customize existing/available UI to fit your own specific needs using so called Bookmarklet
Bookmarklets are saved and used as normal bookmarks. As such, they are simple "one-click" tools which add functionality to the browser.
There is a wide usage of bookmarklets - one of which is to modify the appearance of a web page within the browser - which is exactly your use case.
You can create bookmarklet that will switch visibility of elements above the data navigator as in above example
if your needs are more sophisticated and you are looking for more perks than just hiding elements of UI - you can look into third party IDE for BigQuery
I can recommend one to check out - Goliath - the part of Potens.io Suite for BigQuery. You will find there everything you would expected from professional big data IDE tool.
It is free to use and is available on GCP Marketplace
Disclosure - I am part and lead of Potens.io Team (which is also clearly stated in my SO Profile)
Did you mean you want to unpin a project that has "Pin icon" in the screenshot?
If yes, You can unpin a project to clcik "UNPIN PROJECT" right side of bigquery console.
You have to click project(e.g bigquery-public-data) first to meet "UNPIN PROJECT".
From Data Studio, I am not able to list any Big Query projects. Not even Public projects. I have access to Big Query Tables and projects, but once I log in through Data Studio and try to add a data source, it's showing all blank, including custom queries, etc.
I also faced the same situation and I hope this helps someone else with this confusion. I'm assuming that this could be the solution to this question too. (Do let me know)
When you are trying to add a BigQuery connection to Data Studio, you need to have a Google Project because BigQuery is a paid service. The querying in BigQuery incurs a cost. A project with billing enabled, is not a must for you to load the Datasets in the above screenshot.
Follow these steps to get this issue fixed.
Check the email address you have used to connect to Data Studio. You can click on the avatar on the top right corner. (If this is wrong, simply switch to the correct email.)
Check whether Google Cloud Console is enabled for the above-selected email.
Check whether you have a project in the Cloud Console. Make sure there is a project to be used when creating a BigQuery connection from Data Studio.
With this, your view should show the projects linked with your Google Cloud Console email address.
If the above doesn't work..
Do a refresh of the page and see
If not, create a support ticket or Ask the Data Studio Community.

How do I get the EDIT button?
Setup is
Thanks, ChrisJJ. As we head towards GA for Cloud Source Repositories, we're trimming out underused and half-baked features, of which this is both. It's particularly half-baked because you can't use it to create new files or folders, move files or folders around, delete files, keep files in sync with the cloud shell, etc.
So, we've pulled this feature (and are updating the docs appropriately). However, if you'd like to edit your files on the web, you can do so with the Cloud Shell directly (via nano, vi or emacs) or you can use the new code editor feature described here: https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2016/10/introducing-Google-Cloud-Shels-new-code-editor.html
I think you'll find that this is a MUCH more full-featured editor experience and we're continuing to look at ways to make it even better.
I would like to use Google Chart Tools in Google Scripts using the HtmlService.
But I do not know if caja will allow to inject script to show a chart.
My first tests give me blank pages.
Does anyone know if it is at least possible ?
I know Google Script provides 'Charts' service, but the features are limited compared to what allows Google Chart Tools.
Thanks,
If you look at the HtmlService documentation under the Caja section, https://developers.google.com/apps-script/html_service#Caja it says that included libraries are sanitized and so far only JQuery is supported.
Since Chart Tools depend on Google's jsapi, and it appears to do some pretty funky magic, I'd bet it won't pass Caja sanitization right now.
I wonder if there's some way to use the GAS Charts library to produce the charts (albeit statics ones)? But it produces blobs and I'm not sure how to integrate those into the HtmlService's page?!
Charts are not supported just yet.
I had used the Google Chart Tools before the Charts service was introduced. At the fundamental level, Google Chart Tools returns an image of the chart you wish and the data is passed to it via URL parameters.
Using general Javascript, I had developed the logic to build a URL and then get the image using UrlFetchApp and then display it on an Apps Script using UiApp.createImage().
If you can post some code, you could receive more help
This is now possible, sometime over the last 3 months or so.
