In Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the Query Explorer allows you to add filters to your queries, but you’re correct that the interface currently only allows for one dimension to be selected at a time from the dropdown. It’s not possible to select multiple dimensions simultaneously from the filter dropdown. For complex queries that require multiple dimensions, you may need to use the Google Analytics Data API. This API allows you to build much more specific queries that can include multiple dimensions or metrics. It’s a bit more technical but provides much more flexibility for advanced analytics requirements.

At this point, although GA4 brings a lot of changes to analytics particularly on the event-centric approach, it is still developing and lacks the segmentation provision that we had in UA. As a result, you might have to go the Big Query route. However, you’d better watch this space as GA4 is continuously being updated and might introduce a more straightforward approach soon. Meanwhile, could be worth diving deeper into the GA4’s reporting interface and see how far you can go.

It seems like you’re trying to understand why multiple events on your website appear to be firing all at once when a user lands on the page. According to Google, the ‘page_view’ event should be the first to trigger as a page starts loading. However, in your case, events like ‘click_links’ and ‘scroll’ are also firing at the same time. This could be confusing as logically, these actions (‘click_links’, ‘scroll’, etc.) can only occur once a user is able to interact with the page, i.e., after it has loaded. There could be various reasons behind this behavior, such as page code setup, the way events are tracked, or maybe the tool you’re using to monitor these events. You may need to tweak around with your website’s code or the settings of your event tracking tool to ensure that these events are recorded as they are supposed to.

From what you’ve described, it seems like there could be a configuration issue with Google Tag Manager (GTM) or with Google Analytics 4 (GA4). The problem might be that the transaction value isn’t being sent to GA4 from your Shopify store via GTM. You need to ensure that GTM is set up to pass the transaction value from Shopify to GA4 correctly. This could involve making sure you’re capturing the right transaction data in your GTM tags. It might also be worth checking to see if there are any restrictions or modifications on data in GA4 that might be preventing the transaction value from being displayed. If you can’t find the issue, it might be best to engage a digital marketing professional specializing in advanced GA4 and GTM configurations, as tracking ecommerce data can sometimes be complex.

Your issue might be related to the permissions of the user that is attempting to approve the account ticket. In order to approve an account ticket, the user must be logged in to a Google account and that account must have the ‘Provisioning’ permission. If the user does not have this permission, an ‘access denied’ error will appear. Check to ensure that the Google account has the needed permissions. Additionally, it’s advisable to ensure that the ticket ID is being correctly appended to the URL. Ensure there are no extra slashes or characters. This might be a reason for the ‘account token is missing’ error. If none of the above assists in solving the problem, it could be due to issues with the alpha version of the AnalyticsAdminService client. Remember that alpha versions are early releases that might not be fully tested or contain all final features.

By using the Google Analytics Data API, it is possible to manage and create GA4 properties, potentially easing the transition from Universal Analytics (UA). You may connect new GA4 “babies” with their UA “big brothers” or try to avoid the automatic duplication of properties using this API. Although navigating this API can be tricky and may require time and effort, it can be a more efficient alternative to manually managing properties in the Google Analytics User Interface (UI). You simply need to understand the parameter adjustments and the scope of the API configuration to find the suited solution for your transition. But as of now, there’s no straightforward method available and requires a bit of trial and error.
