Scheduling & Automating Reports

Part of the Data Analyst Roadmap.

Summary

Setting up recurring queries, refreshes or emailed reports so routine analysis doesn't require you to manually rerun it every week — freeing time for higher-value ad-hoc work.

How to Learn This

  • 1Automate one recurring report you currently build manually, using any tool available to you.
  • 2Learn the basics of a scheduler (cron, or your BI tool's built-in scheduling).
  • 3Set up an alert for when an automated report fails, not just when it succeeds.
