# DataLab

[DataLab](https://www.datacamp.com/datalab) is a cloud-based notebook built by DataCamp that allows you to experiment with code, analyze data, collaborate with others, and share insights with no installation required.

This page describes the steps to analyze Data Connector learning data with DataLab. 

Complete these two steps to view your learning data in Power BI.

1. [Set up an Amazon Athena data connection](#set-up-an-amazon-athena-data-connection)
2. [Query your data](#query-your-data)

### Set up an Amazon Athena data connection

### Query your data

* You can now access your organization's learning data with a SQL cell.&#x20;
* Create a new SQL cell and select the Athena connection you just created in the Select data source dropdown in the top left corner of the cell:&#x20;

* You can now write and run a SQL query through the Athena connection. See the [Sample Queries](https://enterprise-docs.datacamp.com/integrating-our-data-into-your-tools-via-data-connector-2.0/sample-queries) page for examples of typical reports you can build.
* You can browse all the available tables through the schema browser by clicking the ![](https://562960931-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FkJKV1xpCBb6myYGAGdfV%2Fuploads%2FjzZ8G5GPCU7C04paXqvE%2Fshow_images.png?alt=media\&token=315d58d6-c3d1-4468-8f65-159b64b7bf7a)icon in the SQL cell.
