Why are sub-queries used instead of CTEs in query building?

Developing a universal query template for all metrics and dimensions using CTEs (Common Table Expressions) with the syntax 'WITH table AS (...)' can be challenging, as it can lead to longer queries with multiple joins. While sub-queries may be less readable, we decided to prioritize functionality over readability. It's worth noting that there is no difference in performance between CTEs and sub-queries.

How can I customize the generated queries?

To customize the generated queries, it is beneficial to have some SQL knowledge. A valuable resource for learning SQL is GA4BigQuery.com check it out!
If you don't feel like learning SQL, you can use our Custom GPT on ChatGPT and ask any questions you have about the queries.

Why does BigQuery data differ from GA4 UI data for some metrics?

The data in the GA4 UI goes through several processing stages, including value additions like Google Signals, modeling, traffic attribution, and prediction, before it is displayed. However, the data exported to BigQuery is typically collected data and does not contain these value additions. You can find more information about this on the Google Analytics developer website.

Why can't I select some metrics or dimensions?

In some cases, certain metrics or dimensions may be disabled and cannot be selected because they are not compatible with each other. This is to ensure that the generated query provides accurate results. If you encounter this issue, try selecting different combinations of metrics and dimensions that are compatible with each other.
