# Column-level lineage from your warehouse into your BI and ingestion tools

> Trace a column from Fivetran through dbt™ into Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, ThoughtSpot, Metabase, Omni, Lightdash, and Hightouch, or push it from your own tool.

*November 11, 2026*

![Column lineage for first\_order traced from the stg\_orders and customer\_orders dbt models into two Looker explores and the Orders Pulse Looker dashboard](https://mintcdn.com/paradime-docs/JUPWGUtBTKTrHRa3/images/catalog-column-lineage-looker-dashboard.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JUPWGUtBTKTrHRa3\&q=85\&s=ad7845b18a1b53af4d4823522ea8ae85)

Column-level lineage no longer stops at your last dbt™ model. The Catalog now follows each column into the dashboards, charts, and syncs that read it, and back to the ingestion tool that loaded it. When you ask "which dashboards break if I drop this column?", the lineage answers down to the field.

Each field in an integration that reads a warehouse column is matched to the dbt model or source that builds the column. Paradime parses each asset's SQL in the dialect of its own connection.

| Integration | What Paradime traces |
| - | - |
| **Looker** | Explores (from the SQL that Looker generates), Looks with custom fields and table calculations, dashboards, and persistent derived tables (from your connected LookML repository) |
| **Tableau** | Data sources (through calculated fields and custom SQL), worksheets, and dashboards |
| **Power BI** | Datasets, through Power Query steps, calculated columns, and DAX measures. Reports and dashboards link as a whole. |
| **Sigma** | Element columns, from the compiled SQL |
| **ThoughtSpot** | Logical tables, worksheets, answers, visualizations, and liveboards |
| **Metabase** | Questions and models, through MBQL or native SQL, and dashboards |
| **Omni** | View fields, query views, tiles, dashboards, and documents |
| **Lightdash** | Explore fields, charts with table calculations, and dashboards |
| **Hightouch** | Models and the field mappings of each sync |
| **Fivetran** | Each source column to its destination column in the warehouse |

* **Open it from any asset.** On the **Columns** tab of a BI or ingestion asset, click **Lineage** on a column, or click a column on any card in the **Lineage** tab. Integration assets show as cards with their tool's logo, such as dashboards, worksheets, and syncs.
* **See how a column is computed.** Click an edge to see the expression behind it, for example the **DAX** measure, the **LookML** dimension, or the **Tableau calculation**.
* **Know when it's incomplete.** Where Paradime can't resolve a field to its columns, the lineage falls back to the asset and shows **node-level fallback used**.
* **Asset-level lineage too.** Integration assets now have asset-level lineage in the Catalog, including the links between Looker or Tableau assets in the same tool.
* **Ask DinoAI.** DinoAI agents, the copilot, the Slack agent, and MCP clients trace a dbt™ column into these tools with the [Column-Level Lineage tool](https://docs.paradime.io/products/dino-ai/tools-and-features/column-level-lineage.md#into-your-bi-and-ingestion-tools). Ask "Which Looker dashboards use `fct_orders.revenue`?" and the agent names them.
* **Bring your own tool.** The [Custom Integration API](https://docs.paradime.io/developers/graphql-api/api-reference/custom-integration-api#field-level-lineage) takes `upstreamFields` and `downstreamFields` on each field, so lineage into an in-house tool shows on the same canvas.

See [Lineage into BI and ingestion tools](https://docs.paradime.io/products/data-catalog/lineage/column-level-lineage.md#lineage-into-bi-and-ingestion-tools). Shipped in Paradime v6.25.2.
