A tour of Metabase for beginners

Twice a month, we host an event to give you an overview of Metabase's basic features and help you get started working with your data. This event will be useful for people who are new to Metabase or have recently started using it.
In this recording you'll find:
- Connecting Metabase to a database
- X-rays: getting first insights from your data
- Asking questions in Metabase
- Performing exploratory/ad-hoc analysis
- Building basic dashboards (for learning how to build advanced dashboards - check out this video:
• How to build Metabase Dashboards )
- Dashboard interactivity: filters, drill-through, custom destinations, etc.
- Organizing data in your Metabase instance (for growing teams)
Join our live events and get a chance to ask your questions to our team. RSVP here: www.metabase.c...

Amazing product (love the query builder!) BUT the lack of a simple way to parameterize questions and dashboards by database really significantly limits the use-case. It advertises embedding, but if your application uses different databases per client, it seems you're out of luck unless you want to try some really clunky serialization thing.

The query builder is amazing, how you can join and filter data.

Hey Ryan, you can read more about joins here (www.metabase.com/docs/latest/questions/query-builder/join) and about filters here (www.metabase.com/docs/latest/dashboards/filters).
