Drill Downs > Limit on number of Custom Fields in an Explore/Look ?

Hi All,

Fairly new to the Looker game, so be kind 😉

I've encountered what appears to be a problem with drill-downs. When I add >10 Custom Fields to an Explore, my drills fail to work. It doens't appear to be linked to a single specific field, just when I go >10 custom fields.

What I see is

  • the typical drill down sub-window appears
  • the 'loading' splash disappears immediately (<1sec)
  • the screen changes to a grey-screen within 5-10secs

Hoping someone can confirm what I'm seeing, or help me understand how I'm abusing Looker 🙂

Also, I'm assuming that I could code these in LookML directly, but before I waste time doing that -- anyone know if that wouldn't work?

Thanks in advance!

Issue found to be usage of large numbers of Calculated Fields, which pushed the URL generated for visualisations over the 10K limit.

Converted Calc'd Fields to LookML, issue resolved.
