Data inputs now available! #

The wait is over! You can now upload CSV and XLSX files or manually enter data into Omni to create source tables. This highly requested feature makes it easier than ever to bring external data into your analyses - database optional.

Once created, data input tables tables can be queried and modeled just like any other table in your database. Check out the docs to learn more.

New workbook starter now in beta #

As part of our mission to eliminate analysis paralysis, we’re developing a new query tab experience that makes it easier to get started with your data.

Now, when you create a new workbook or query tab, you can browse database views and topics, write a SQL query, or add a data input table.

Reach out to us if you want to try out the new experience.

dbt tooling enhancements #

The new dbt environment health dialog, accessible by clicking Health in the footer of the IDE, can help you monitor issues in your dbt environment:

Additionally, you can now bring your dbt metadata in Omni up to date with just a few clicks. In the dbt IDE, navigate to Model > Sync dbt metadata and Omni will kick off a metadata sync.

Promote color modeling from the workbook #

Color modeling is now complete for both dimensions and measures! In the Color options for charts, you can set colors for multiple measures, including those that already have a color defined in the model:

Once set, you can then promote the colors to the workbook model, which will apply the colors across the entire workbook:
