# How to create a Data Studio report with Supermetrics

This guide walks you through building Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) reports with Supermetrics. Once you’ve set up your tables and charts, you can set them to [update automatically with scheduled refreshes](https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/9263641#zippy=%2Cin-this-article).

## Before you begin

Before you set up your first report, you’ll need to [connect your data sources to Supermetrics and Data Studio](/v1/docs/how-to-connect-data-sources-to-data-studio).

## Instructions

Instructions for setting up a blank report start at 2:13 in the following video. You can also [use our templates for quick start](/v1/docs/how-to-use-a-supermetrics-report-template-in-data-studio)!

1. [Log in to Data Studio](https://datastudio.google.com/).
2. In the top left corner, go to **Create → Report**. A new report will open.
3. You can add a data source to the new report from **Add data** tab. This will create an embedded data source that can only be used in this report or from the **My data sources** tab when creating new reports. If you need to connect a new data source, [follow these instructions](/v1/docs/how-to-connect-data-sources-to-data-studio). Under **My data sources**, you'll see the data source files you've already created with Supermetrics.
4. Select the data source you'd like to use, and click **Add** in the bottom left corner.
5. A new report will open, and you can start building your charts.
6. Add a new chart to the report by clicking **Add a chart** in the report's upper menu.

Take a look at our [report building guides for data sources](/v1/docs/connect) for inspiration on your reports!

### How to copy a report

Creating a copy of a report allows you to easily share it with others, or use it as a template. [Read Google’s documentation to learn how to do this](https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/7175478).

Note that some elements are part of the data source file, not the report, and won't be copied over unless you also recreate or copy the data source file.
