How to add a count of posts from Facebook Insights to a Looker Studio report

While there’s no default metric for counting Facebook posts in the Facebook Insights data source, you can still import this value to Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) with a custom calculated field.

Instructions

1. Open a report in Looker Studio.
2. Click any report element to open Supermetrics.
3. Click the Edit icon next to the Facebook Insights data source.
4. Click Edit connection.
5. Click Add a field to bring up the calculated field window.
6. Add a meaningful name in Field Name.
7. In the Formula field, add this formula:
   
   SUM(CASE WHEN Post ID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END )
   
   
8. Click Save.

You can now add this as a metric in your reporting.
