YouTube video by Really Good Data Create a Butterfly (aka Tornado) Chart in Google Looker Studio

I love butterfly charts for quick insights. But, they're not native to Looker Studio.

Here's a quick video that walks you through the process using Channels, Sessions and Revenue as an example.

I have a 2 week rule for all diy home projects. If I won't notice it in 2 weeks it's good enough πŸ™‚

The shit you have built and provided for the analytics community is unmatched!

Sorry it was a rough revenue year, but I hope you know you made the lives of many, many analysts a heck of a lot easier. I use your extension daily. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

** For uber geeks of GA4**
Want your own GA4 demo property with 'real' data?

I made a system that runs sends real time data to your GA4 demo property (for demos, BigQUery practice, etc)

It pushes ecommerce events with a variety of different channel sources.

Send me your demo G- to be added.

I cringe every time I get a link to look at something there. Maybe designers get it - but it is so chaotic to me.

If it is a manageable amount of people then Meets would be totally fine. It's the cheaper option than using a webinar tool where you have much more control.

Ooh yes good point - then I have a lot of experience in both πŸ˜…

If you need tips on starting side projects, but never finishing them - let me know. I have a ton of experience in this line of work.

It's not quite ready - but I'm close to releasing a new ecomm dashboard πŸŽ‰

Anybody want to try it out before it goes live??

You can add any GA4 property to it and it shows trends, channel break down and product performance.

Feedback is welcome πŸ™‚

That's crazy! It's such a high barrier for being self employed.

In case anybody wonders what it costs to insure a family of four in Colorado (being self employed).
That's over $20K per year. 😬

And when you make a purchase, for the credit card number just use 1 as the number and any expiration beyond today.

If you're learning Google Tag Manager and want a site to practice...

I made a demo Shopify site for you - just add your GTM container ID
ga4sandbox.myshopify.com (pw: gtm-test)

It loads the dataLayer with standard events like:
- view_item_list
- select_item
- view_item
- add_to_cart
- purchase

Dang you can tell a story! Who thought a blog post about a funding model and raising capital could be so entertaining (Geraldine's edits win the show πŸ™‚)

And this game sounds and looks amazing. I'm rooting for you all and look forward to 2026!!

I bet they'll bring it back, then offer it up to the DOJ
