We use BigQuery transfer job to synchronize Google Ads data for further calculation. There is Install metric in the Google Ads UI, but we can't find the install column in the table, like the Impressions and Clicks column in CampaignLocationTargetStats table. Now our campaigns' conversion is based on app install. We could use the Conversions column data to represent the install count. But if we change the conversion's action. The install data is not correct.
Thanks.

Hey I am trying to create some batch jobs that reads from a couple Salesforce Objects and pushes them to BQ. Every-time batch process runs it will truncate the table in BQ and push all the data in the SF object back into BQ. Is it possible for google data fusion to automatically detect changes in an object in Salesforce(like adding a new column or changing data types of a column) then be registered and pushed to BQ via google data fusion?
For SF side of the puzzle you could look into https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_describeGlobal.htm and If-Modified-Since header telling you if the definition of table(s) changed. That url is for all tables in the org or you run table-specific metadata describe calls with https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_sobject_describe.htm
But I can't tell you how to use it in your job.
You can use the provided answer of #eyescream to be the condition or the trigger for the update to BigQuery. You may push changes to BigQuery using the pre-built plugin Stream Source approach from Datafusion in which, as mentioned in this docmentation, it
tracks updates in Salesforce sObjects. Examples of sObjects are
opportunities, contacts, accounts, leads, any custom object, etc.
You may use this approach to automatically track changes and push them to BigQuery. You can also find the whole Salesforce Streaming Source configuration reference in this documentation as also redirected from google's official documentation.
However, if you want a more dynamic approach for your overall use case, you may also use the integration of BigQuery with Salesforce. However in this approach, you will need to build your own code in which you can also use #eyescream 's answer as the primary condition/trigger and then automatically push the update to your BigQuery schema.
I'm looking for a workaround on the following issue. Hope someone can help.
I'm unable to backfill data in the ga_sessions_ table in BigQuery through product linking in GA. e.g. partition ga_sessions_20180517 is missing
This specific view has already been linked before. Google documentation says that historical load is only done once per view (hence, the issue) (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3416092?hl=en)
Is there any way to work around it?
Kind regards,
Martijn
You can use Google Analytics Reporting API to get the data for that view. This method has lot of restrictions like sometimes the data is sampled/only 7 dimensions can be exported in one call, but at least you will be able to fetch your data in a partitioned manner.
Documentation hereDoc
If you need a lot of dimensions/metrics in hit level format, scitylana.com has a service that can provide this data historically.
If you have a clientId set in a custom dimension the data-quality is near perfect.
It also works without a clientId set.
You can get all history as available through the API.
You can get 100+ dimensions/metrics in one batch into BQ.
I have GA360 and I have exported raw Google Analytics data to BigQuery through the integration. I'm just wondering if the DCM dimensions and metrics are part of the export?
Ideally these link
I can't find them as part of the export, what would be the best way to access these dimensions for all my raw data? Core reporting API?
This Google Analytics documentation page shows the BigQuery Export schema for the Google Analytics data that is exported to BigQuery. As you will see, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager (DCM) data is not part of the BigQuery export, unlike the DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP), which does appear (these are all the hits.publisher.<DFP_METRIC> metrics).
Therefore, as explained by #BenP in the comments, you may be interested in the BigQuery Data Transfer service, which does have a feature for DoubleClick Campaign Manager Transfers. Unfortunately, I am not an expert in Google Analytics or DCM, and therefore cannot add much relevant info to the process of linking both sets of data, but maybe you can try combining them yourself and then post a new question for that matter if you do not success in doing so.
I am in the process of creating an app that will log certain amounts of data for teachers. While the data will be kept somehow within the app, is there a way to integrate the use of google forms or sheets with the data?
For example, if I use my app to record data (say that a student was coming to class tardy), is there a way to have that data go to a google sheet/form and always see live data as it's being used through my app?
Thanks!
Mike
You can build a form in your app that posts data to a standalone google-app script. The app-script can then append the data to any google sheet you specify. I'd also like to recommend Google data studio for displaying real-time data, as it will save a lot of time on not coding the data display ui.
So I want to transfer information from a returned order from our website and I want to click a button and transfer some of that orders information (date it was received, order #, part#, quantity of # being returned.).
What's the fastest way to do this?
As of right now we are doing google docs spreadsheet to keep track of what is being returned and I am writing down every return manually.
Can we create a script or program that runs everytime this task is performed? It doesn’t seem like a big task but how do I do that?
You can check this API https://developers.google.com/sheets/ This allows for manipulation of data in the Google Excel sheets.
