Introducing Hex’s Integration with the dbt Semantic Layer

Hex has released a new integration with the dbt Semantic Layer, which includes a Metrics Cell for easy access to trusted metrics without writing code. Users can specify metrics, dimensions, and time grains to get back a data frame for analysis, visualization, and sharing. Additionally, connecting to the dbt Proxy Server allows users to write dbt-flavored SQL in Hex, using refs, macros, and sources directly in queries. This integration enables more people to participate in analytics workflows without needing to know how to write code, while also ensuring consistency and governance of metrics defined by data teams.
