Data analytics can offer insights into your business and help take it to the next level. In this talk you'll learn about MongoDB tools for building visualizations, dashboards and interacting with your data. We'll start with exploratory data analysis using MongoDB Compass. Then, in a matter of minutes, we'll take you from 0 to 1 - connecting to your Atlas cluster via BI Connector and running analytical queries against it in Microsoft Excel. We'll also showcase the new MongoDB Charts product and you'll see how quick, easy and intuitive analytics can be on the MongoDB platform without flattening the data or spending time and effort on complicated and fragile ETL.

Make a DSN connection to MongoDB
Import Data Into Excel
Identify the most expensive neighborhood group in Austin
Determine average nightly price for an Airbed, per neighborhood

13. MongoDB BI Connector - When to Use
Want to speak SQL to MongoDB
Multi data sources (not just MongoDB)
Business analysts
Reporting only
Powerful but you lose some benefits of schema flexibility

16. Wouldn’t it be nice if...
You could visualize your MongoDB Data…
without needing to write your own code
without needing to move your data into a different repository
without needing to purchase and configure third-party tools
without losing the richness of the Document Model

17. MongoDB Charts beta
The fastest way to build
visualizations over your
MongoDB data
Built for the MongoDB Document
Model
Visualize live data from on-prem
or Atlas DB

18. Charts Basic Concepts
A data source is a reference to a MongoDB collection or view that
contains data you want to visualize.
A chart is a visualization of data from a single data source.
A dashboard is a collection of charts which you manage as a unit
(name, layout, sharing)

19. What to Expect
Charting Capabilities
Common chart types
Aggregation functions
Filtering
Sample Mode
Binning
Sorting
Document Model Support
Type handling
Polymorphic collections
Nested documents
Array reductions

20. Sharing and Permissions
All users log onto Charts with their own account
• Users can be managed by anyone with the UserAdmin role
Any user can add a data source
• They must have a valid connection URI to connect to the MongoDB instance
• A data source owner can choose to share with nobody, specific people or
everybody
Any user can add a dashboard
• By default, the dashboard is only visible to the creator
• A dashboard owner can choose to share with nobody, specific people or
everybody

21. Exercise 2: Analysing AirBnB Data

31. Find or Count Specific Documents
4. Find how many listings have a real bed and are greater than
$100 but less than $200 per night by filling in the blanks
db.___.find( {
price: { ___: ___, $lt: ___ } } ,
{ ___ : "Real Bed" }).count()
db.austinListingsAndReviews.find( {
"price": { $gt: 100, $lt: 200 } } ,
{"bed_type" : "Real Bed"}).count()
Answer: 2892

32. Minimum price per night by number
of beds
Take a look at this example aggregation which computes minimum
price per night by number of beds
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$beds",
avg_by_beds: { $min: "$price" }
}
},
{ $sort: { avg_by_beds: 1 } }
] )

33. Average price per night by room type
Construct a very similar query to find average price per night
by room type by filling in the blanks.
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "___",
avg_by_roomtype: { $avg: "___" }
}
}}
] )

34. ANSWER: Average price per night by
room type
Construct a very similar query to find average price per night
by room type by filling in the blanks.
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$room_type",
avg_by_roomtype: { $avg: "$price" }
}
}}
] )

35. Average price per night by suburb
Let’s practice some more.
This time write the query from scratch to find the average
price per night by suburb. Examine the document structure
first.
Hint: suburb is a field within a subdocument address; use dot
notation to reference it.

36. ANSWER: Average price per night by
suburb
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{
$group: {
_id: "$address.suburb",
avg_by_suburb: { $avg: "$price" }
}
}
] )

37. Count and average price per night
Compute the count of properties and average price per night by
suburbs and number of bedrooms by filling in the blanks.
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{"$group" :
{
_id:{suburb:"$___", bedrooms:"$___"},
___:{$sum:1},
avg:{$___:"$price"}}
}
])

38. ANSWER: Count and average price
per night
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{"$group" :
{
_id:{suburb:"$address.suburb", bedrooms:"$bedrooms"},
count:{$sum:1},
avg:{$avg:"$price"}}
}
])

39. Add $match Stage
Use the query from previous step and add a $match stage to only
show those properties that have a pool
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{ $match : {amenities: "Pool"} },
{"$group" :
{
_id:{suburb:"$address.suburb",bedrooms:"$bedrooms"},
count:{$sum:1},
avg:{$avg:"$price"}}
}
])

40. Learn how to do aggregations you
cannot do in SQL
We want to determine average review scores for all properties
in Austin based on some amenities.
Remember that review_scores is a sub document. Luckily we have
$objectToArray to transform our object into an array which we
can then $unwind and $group.

41. Average review scores for all
properties in Austin with amenities
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{ $match : {
amenities: { $in: ["Cable TV", "Garden or backyard",
"Coffee maker"] } } },
{ $project: { scores: { $objectToArray: "$review_scores" } } },
{ $unwind: "$scores" },
{ $group: { _id: "$scores.k", average_score: { $avg:
"$scores.v" } } }
])

42. Compare two neighbourhoods
Compare two neighbourhoods - South Lamar and West Campus - and
decide based on average review where you would rather stay.
Assume you also want a place that has pool, wifi, and
air-conditioning, under $200
Hint: You will need to look up how to use $and operator for this

43. ANSWER: South Lamar
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{
$match: {
$and: [
{amenities: { $in: ["Pool", "Air conditioning", "Wifi"] } },
{price: { $lt: 200 } },
{"address.suburb": "South Lamar"}
]
}
},
{ $project: { scores: { $objectToArray: "$review_scores" } } },
{ $unwind: "$scores" },
{ $group: { _id: "$scores.k", average_score: { $avg: "$scores.v" } } }
])

44. ANSWER: West Campus
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{
$match: {
$and: [
{amenities: { $in: ["Pool", "Air conditioning", "Wifi"] } },
{price: { $lt: 200 } },
{"address.suburb": "West Campus"}
]
}
},
{ $project: { scores: { $objectToArray: "$review_scores" } } },
{ $unwind: "$scores" },
{ $group: { _id: "$scores.k", average_score: { $avg: "$scores.v" } } }
])

45. $geoNear
Use $geoNear to find airbnbs near location of your choice (or
near Alamo Drafthouse - 30.2988474,-97.7064386) and add the
same search criteria we used in in the prior exercise to only
show airbnbs that have pool, wifi, and air-conditioning, under
$200

46. ANSWER: $geoNear
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate([
{
$geoNear: {
near: { type: "Point", coordinates: [ -97.7064386 , 30.2988474 ] },
distanceField: "dist.calculated",
maxDistance: 500,
query: { $and: [ {amenities: { $in: ["Pool", "Air conditioning", "Wifi"] } },
{price: { $lt: 200 } }]},
includeLocs: "dist.location",
num: 5,
spherical: true
}
}]).pretty()

47. $graphLookup
Let’s say we want to build a recommendation engine based on
users that reviewed the same properties.
We can use $graphLookup to run a recursive query that says:
“for a given reviewer, e.g. 7538 let’s find all listings
reviewed by users who also reviewed the same listings as 7538”

48. $graphLookup - example
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{ $match: { "reviews.reviewer_id": "7538" } } ,{ $unwind: "$reviews" },{
$graphLookup: {
from: "austinListingsAndReviews",
startWith: "$reviews.reviewer_id",
connectFromField: "reviews.reviewer_id",
connectToField: "reviews.reviewer_id",
as: "reviewed_listings",
maxDepth: 1,
depthField: "depth",
restrictSearchWithMatch: { "reviews.reviewer_id": { $ne: "7538" } }
}},
{ $project: {
_id: 0,
listing: "$_id",
url: "$listing_url" }}]).pretty()

49. Now try $graphlookup yourself
Some host in Austin have multiple listings, for example,
host_id:100208662. Construct a $graphLookup query that finds
all the listings by that host.

50. ANSWER: $graphlookup
db.austinListingsAndReviews.aggregate( [
{ $match: { "host.host_id": "100208662" } },
{ $graphLookup:
{
from: "austinListingsAndReviews",
startWith: "$host.host_id",
connectFromField: "host.host_id",
connectToField: "host.host_id",
as: "multi-listing-hosts"
} }]).pretty()
