How to fix the display "Not Accelerated by BigQuery BI Engine" on DataStudio Report using BigQuery

Question

I am using a Scorecard in Google Data Studio, and I keep having this warning (Thunder) ⚠️ sign saying - "Not Accelerated by BigQuery BI Engine". Is this an error, and how do you fix it?

Answer 1

To hide this "Not Accelerated by BigQuery BI Engine" message,

1. Open the report in Edit mode, and click on the label/Scorecard.
2. On the panel on the right side of the page, click on STYLE.
3. Scroll down to Chart Header and select "Do not show".

The Lightning icon disappears, as as the message.

Answer 2

This is not an error, just a warning to let you know that you can enable the BI Engine.

In order to enable the BI Engine you just need to create your BI Engine reservation by going to your BigQuery Admin Console.

Please keep in mind that this can generate new charges to your account.
