Hello everyone, I am new to GrowthBook. Query 1 – I have a question about adding a metric. Is there a way to remove the required timestamp column? I have temporarily fixed this by setting the timestamp to the current year. Query 2 – Even after changing the query settings and removing
anonymous_id
and
user_id
, the changes are not reflected when I click "Run Analysis." However, I still get an error for not including these fields. Strangely, I am able to run the query and get results in "Test Query" mode. My Requirement – I am using BigQuery to retrieve data from GA4. From that data, I am extracting
experiment_id
and
variation_id
from the table. My goal is to count the number of people who received each variation, where the values are 0 and 1. I have attached a screen recording for your reference.

1. We do need a date/timestamp in order to make sure that the phases (which are date ranges) and the metric events (which need to happen after experiment exposure) work correctly. 2. There are two queries that are joined to make the experiment query - the assignment query, from the data source page, and the metric/fact table query. You can edit them there
I have a feeling we do what you want out of the box - but by removing all the randomization units, you're likely making it not work

@fresh-football-47124 I tried removing the identifier types from the data sources, but it still isn't working properly. I just need to determine how many people viewed the new UI versus the old UI. Additionally, I have some custom events, such as filter clicks, and I need to track how many users interacted with the filter on both the new and old UI. It’s also important for me to know how many users proceeded to checkout. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong—could you please help me clarify this?
I tried retrieving the data without using custom SQL by specifying the event_name as 'experiment viewed,' but the results don't seem accurate. I believe the data might not be correct. Could you please help me understand if I'm doing something wrong?
Here is my BigQuery query from which I am retrieving the data for your reference. If you need any additional information, please let me know.

GrowthBook will already show you the totals of users who saw an experiment
but we need some identifier of the user
in GA4, ever user will have a psudeo_anon_id or whatever its called
so I suggest you add that back
