Abstract
When we explored the dataset and played around with extended etadata (XMD) in Chapter 4, without our awareness, we open the dataset as a new lens. A lens is a view of a dataset; we can use it to explore the data and to get data insight. We have options to explore the data in a lens as a chart or table, including using a special query language called SAQL. Einstein Analytics provides many types of charts and table for users to explore the data, including to use conversational exploration. We will discuss all of them later in this chapter.
