    DataWorks DataAnalysis lets you visualize processed data as charts so you can quickly extract key insights. This topic walks through visualizing user profile data with DataWorks.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, make sure you have processed the data into a basic user profile in DataWorks DataStudio, as described in Process data.

    Data analysis scenarios

    The following scenarios show how to visualize and analyze user profile data:

    Go to the SQL Query page

    All operations in this example are performed in the SQL Query feature of DataAnalysis.

    Log on to the DataWorks console. In the target region, click Data Analysis and Service > DataAnalysis in the left-side navigation pane. Click Go to DataAnalysis to open the Data Analysis page. In the left-side navigation pane, click SQL Query.

    Configure the SQL query data source

    1. Authorize a Data Source.

      You must authorize a data source before using it in Data Analysis. Navigate to the Security Center > Security policy > Data Query Control > Queryable data source page. Find the desired data source and click Authorization in the Operation column to grant your account the necessary permissions. For more information, see Security Center.

    2. Create a Temporary File.

      1. Method 1: When you access the SQL Query page for the first time or no SQL file is open in the current window, click Create SQL Query to create a Temporary File.

      2. Method 2: If an SQL file is already open, click image.png to create a Temporary File.

      Note

      For more information about creating SQL queries, see SQL query (legacy).

    3. Select a Data Source.

      On the temporary file editing page, click the image.png icon in the upper-right corner, and select the workspace, engine type, and data source for the current SQL query. In this example, a MaxCompute data source is selected.

    Write the SQL statement

    On the temporary file editing page, enter the following SQL statement and click the image.png icon to run the query. The statement queries data from the ads_user_info_1d_starrocks table. In this example, dt="20241126".

    -- If the target partition is not found, you can run `show partitions ` to confirm the table partitions.
select * from ads_user_info_1d_starrocks where dt='20241126';

    View query results and edit charts

    After the SQL query returns results, click the image.png button in the left-side navigation pane to visualize them. To edit a chart, click the image.png button in its upper-right corner.
