Reimagining a Google Analytics dashboard can be challenging, especially when handling custom queries in BigQuery. If you’re running into hiccups with your custom event data, it might really help to try a query builder like Analytics Canvas. They even have a free trial, so it’s a no-risk way to validate your results and hopefully clear up your roadblocks.
Admittedly, navigating SQL can be a bit of a juggling act. Just remember when you’re using Looker Studio with BigQuery directly, it shoots out separate queries for each component of the report, like each chart, table, and even scorecard. To keep things tidy, it might be smart to use date partitioned summary tables which could save you from jumbled results, especially when compared to working with raw GA4 export tables. Stay patient, keep experimenting with your approach, and you’ll get there!
