What are Metabase questions?
Asking questions in Metabase
- The simple question mode, which lets you filter, summarize, and visualize data.
- The custom question mode, which gives you a powerful notebook-style editor to create more complex questions that require joins, multiple stages of filtering and aggregating, or custom columns.
How do I write a query in Metabase?
Starting a new SQL query
You can write SQL (or your database's native querying language) directly into the editor that appears. To try it out, select the Sample Dataset, then type the command select sum(subtotal), created_at from orders group by created_at . Don't worry if you don't understand this just yet.
How do you share Metabase questions?
Public links can be viewed by anyone, even if they don't have access to Metabase. You can also use the public embedding code to embed your question or dashboard in a simple web page or blog post. To share a question, click on the arrow pointing up and to the right in the bottom right of the question.
