Hey, no worries at all! Your dateHour should actually be functioning just fine. If you take a look at this handy example I pulled up , you can see what your output should be looking like.+

Just a quick question – are other parts of your property, such as date and eventName dimensions, showing up as expected? Give them a quick check if you haven’t already!

Hey there, I’m curious if I can utilize ecommerce columns with my custom Tag Manager Event tied to ecommerce. I’ve got a BigQuery Link established on my GA4 view and I got some data back. I noticed “items” columns in the table schema (screenshot included for reference).

My question is this: If I design a custom event as shown below, using the…

To include andGroup and notExpression in the same JSON for GA4 filters, you need to structure your syntax well. Start by defining an andGroup, where you place your sequence of filters inside an array called “expressions”. Each filter within this group can be a basic stringExpression or a further complex groupExpression. A notExpression can then be… Read more

Sure thing, let me break it down for you:

First, you need a bunch of imports — Java can’t know everything, can it now? These guys will help you connect to Google Analytics, handle data and credentials, and make requests.

We created a class, Ga4DataAnalytics2. We want to make sure we’re spreading the load properly, so we register a new load b… Read more

Google Analytics has been great, but I’ve been trying to move to Google Analytics 4 and I’m running into some roadblocks. I’ve updated the tag in my config.yaml…

The discrepancy between Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and BigQuery may be due to extra events recorded in BigQuery that GA4 doesn’t count, like “first_open” or “session_start”. To match GA4, you could modify your query to exclude these. Also, GA4 aggregates data and removes some outliers, which could account for lower numbers. It’s not just you—this c… Read more

In GA4, the process of modifying and viewing custom reports is done in the same section. Once you click on your report in the list under the Library, you can view the information currently available. You can also adjust parameters like the date filter directly from this screen. To share the report, you need to save any changes you have made, then… Read more
