I have a report that is pulling from 11 data sources. The lookerstudio limit in blending data is 5 sources. What I ended up was blending 3 sources and placing that into a scorecard chart, then blended 3 more sources and placed that data into a scorecard chart, and so on until i hit all 11 sources, resulting in 4 data blends. My hope was to blend the data, the blend the blended data. My research is showing that this is possible, but when trying to blend the blended tables, they do not show up in my blended data source options. Has anyone run into this to try and get around the limitation? Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated.
You cannot blend “blended data”. Only data sources can be used as a source for a blending table. So you have to prepare your data outside of Looker Studio before loading them (as a 12th data source).
Sorry.
Just by curiosity, where have you read that inception blending is possible? It is definitely not a good source for Looker Studio.
I hope it helps.
