Asking questions — plain English and the SQL editor

The Query tab is where you get answers. You have two ways to ask, and they work together.

Ask in plain English (primary):
In the "Ask your data" box, type a question the way you'd say it out loud — "Which month had the highest revenue this year?", "Top 10 customers by spend", "How many orders came in last week?" — and click Ask. Wally translates it into SQL, runs it against your datasets, and shows the result.

See and edit the SQL (secondary):
The SQL that Wally generated appears in the editor below, labeled "Wally generated — editable". You can read exactly what it ran, tweak it, and click Run SQL to re-run your edited version. You can also write SQL from scratch here if you prefer. Click Save query to keep one you'll want again.

Reading the results:
Results come back as a table by default. Use the Table / Bar / Line toggle above the results to chart them — Turtini picks a sensible label and value column for the chart automatically. Large results are capped for display and marked as truncated.

Let Wally do it:
You don't have to open the page at all — ask Wally anywhere: "which month had the highest revenue?" and Wally runs it through the Data Lake and reads you the answer plus the SQL it used (the warehouse_query tool). If the query engine isn't enabled in your environment yet, Wally will walk you to the Query tab at /warehouse instead.
