No, currently Google Query Explorer for GA4 only allows you to select one value from the dropdown for each filter. However, you can add multiple filters to your query. This may not be as convenient as selecting multiple dimensions at once, but it will allow you to gather data from different dimensions simultaneously.

From what you’ve described, it sounds like Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is displaying your tax and shipping details as pure numerical information rather than amounts in dollars. This isn’t necessarily incorrect; GA4 often displays currency-related information as plain numbers. However, you should interpret these figures as monetary values (in dollars, if that’s your default currency). Remember, GA4 is a highly versatile tool and if you prefer to see these amounts in a dollar format, you may be able to make some tweaks in your preferred view settings or even use something like Data Studio to customize your reports.

This issue is indeed quite intriguing! Alright, here’s the scoop. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and BigQuery might show different data due to their distinct approaches to session calculations. Your trusted BigQuery tends to be more exacting in its computation, which is probably why the numbers align closer with your actual traffic and other analytics. On the other hand, the GA4 interface usually provides estimates.
Moreover, there are certain sessions, such as those derived via Google Signals, that aren’t included in BigQuery. Whether it’s tied to your recently incorporated eCommerce event is hard to say, but it’s definitely worth keeping in mind these fundamental differences between GA4 and BigQuery data handling.
So, to your questions:
1. Yes, we’d often anticipate some similarity between GA4’s and BigQuery’s numbers. However, as I mentioned above, due to differing calculation methods and data inclusions, some discrepancy might occur.
2. To align these numbers more accurately, it really comes down to gaining a deeper understanding of what each tool counts as a ‘session’ and adjusting expectations and calculations accordingly. Ensure any additional events or tags you’re deploying are correctly incorporated in your calculations. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, but with some tweaking and understanding of the processes involved, you should see more consistent results.I hope this helps clarify the situation a bit!

It appears that you are having some difficulty with receiving accurate reporting of your in-app search events in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) despite proper setting up the event tracking code. You have observed that your ‘search’ event appears in the debug view and real-time view, but not in the regular reports, and the issue remains despite it being known that GA4 sometimes takes 12 – 24 hours to reflect updates in the reports.
The problem might be GA4’s processing logic or possibly an internal bug. While you might expect data to be shown in real time, it’s important to know that processing speeds can vary, leading to some inconsistencies in report updates, especially for custom events. Setting up the event in the GA4 dashboard and waiting for some time might resolve this issue. If not, it’s also possible there might be an undiscovered issue with the Nuxt gtag.js module you’re using with your Vue 3 + Nuxt stack. In that case, you might want to connect with the developers behind it, providing them with your observations to guide their investigation.

Sure, I can definitely help with that. In layman’s term, you want to move that existing ‘script’ tag code into an external .js file and then reference that file on your webpage. Here’s how you can do it:
Firstly, you need to create a new .js file. You can use any text editor to do this, just make sure you save it with a .js extension.
Secondly, you should copy all the JavaScript code — that is, everything between the ‘script’ tags on your webpage — into this new .js file.
And finally, you should replace the old ‘script’ tag on your webpage with a new one. This new ‘script’ tag will link to your external .js file. The ‘src’ attribute in your ‘script’ tag should be set to the URL or path of your .js file.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully moved your JavaScript code to an external file. Don’t forget to replace ‘TRACKINGID’ with your actual tracking ID both in the external file and the webpage. The advantage of using an external .js file is it helps to keep your HTML document clean and easy to understand, and it allows your JavaScript to be cached, which can improve page load speed.

Sure, let’s unravel this a bit. Now, here’s where it gets interesting – when you’re managing to play the first YouTube video, it’s picking up the event and recognising it as a YouTube event – that’s great! But then, any videos after that just show up as link clicks, right?
This could be happening because each time you go to play another video, you could be just changing the source or the video link in the YouTube element (this is known as the DOM, or Document Object Model) within your site – which might be wrapped inside that modal you mentioned.
Google Tag Manager however, doesn’t track again when you change the source or video link, it just looks at the element or ‘container’ when it first loads on the page, and then any changes after that don’t register as YouTube events.
What might be worth checking is whether each video in the modal is using the same YouTube DOM and only changing the URL. Because if that’s the case, GTM might be seeing it as one continuous link click rather than separate YouTube events. I know it’s a bit of a conundrum, but hopefully, this shines a light on what could be happening!
