Using natural language searches

Natural language searches need to reference field names or synonyms for field names from the data model of apps. You can view available apps by entering Show apps. You can view available dimensions and measures by typingshow dimensions and show measures. Clicking a dimension shows the first 10 values for that dimension. Clicking a measure applies that measure.

Natural language queries support three kinds of filters:

• Time: A unit of time or date. For example, Show me 2019 Sales.
• Category: A value from one of the dimensions. For example, Show me Sales by Product for Sweden.
• Measure: A value or values from a measure. For example, Show me Sales for Sweden by Product under 1K.

You can phrase your search queries for facts, comparisons, and rankings. Facts are statements such as What are my sales or Show expenses over time for 2019. You can ask for a comparison by adding vs or compare to your query. For example, Compare sales to expenses over time. You can ask for rankings by adding top to your query. For example, Show me top 10 product by sales for 2020.
