If your Looker Studio Report stops at more than 10,000 lines, you are hitting a well-known platform limitation. Furthermore, this row limit affects both tables and charts. Additionally, the actual threshold depends on the data source used. In this article, we explain why your Looker Studio Report stops with large datasets and what solutions exist.

Why Does the Looker Studio Report Stop at 10,000 Rows?

First of all, Looker Studio has a default row limit per component. When a Looker Studio Report stops at more than 10,000 rows, this is due to the maximum query size. Moreover, this limit varies depending on the connector – Google Sheets allows fewer rows than BigQuery. Therefore, you should first check the data source.

How to Work Around the Row Limit in Looker Studio Reports

First, you can pre-aggregate data in BigQuery before loading it into Looker Studio. Additionally, setting filters at the data source level helps reduce the result set. Furthermore, you can create multiple pages with filtered views instead of displaying everything on one page. According to Google Support, BigQuery is the best option for large datasets.

Our Recommendation

If your Looker Studio Report stops at more than 10,000 rows, you should switch the data source or pre-aggregate the data. Moreover, we recommend using BigQuery as a data source since it offers significantly higher limits. Additionally, you should use filters at the data source level to reduce the query size. This way, you prevent your Looker Studio Report from stopping with large datasets.

Conclusion

In summary, the row limit in Looker Studio depends on the data source and can be circumvented through aggregation and filter strategies. Need help with optimization? Our Looker Studio service team is happy to assist.
