Data Studio now globally available

Last month we announced we removed the five report limit in Data Studio, allowing you to create and share as many reports as needed — all for free. Today we are opening up access to 180+ countries, enabling even more businesses to easily connect to data and create beautiful, informative reports that are easy to read, easy to share, and fully customizable.New, powerful featuresIn addition to making Data Studio accessible in more countries, we’re also adding more powerful features to help you better analyze and report on your data, including:FiltersYou can now filter your data in more ways, and it’s easier to reuse filters on multiple charts. This new functionality includes:

1. Reuse – Create a filter once and then use it on as many different components on the report as you want. No more recreating identical filters!
2. Compound filtering – Combine multiple AND and OR filter conditions together into one reusable filter.
3. Metric filters – Filter metric values that are too large, too small, or within a specified range.

A Google Analytics segment represents a subset of your data, for example, Returning Users. You can now see all your Google Analytics segments in Data Studio and apply them to any chart. And, if you update the definition of your segments in Google Analytics, those changes will apply to the segments in Data Studio.
