Standardizing insights with the dbt Semantic Layer
01
Hands-on lab · 2026Overview
Learn how to build and consume governed metrics using the dbt Semantic Layer. You’ll start with a dbt project, define semantic models and metrics, validate logic and grain, and then confirm that metrics can be consumed consistently downstream to support a single source of truth.
After this lab, you will be able to:
- Explain how semantic models and metrics support consistent measurement across teams
- Define a metric and validate its underlying logic and grain
- Demonstrate consumption of a governed metric in a downstream workflow (tooling-dependent)
