I have some data from CRM and I wanna use Offline Event Data in Data Import of GA 4 to insert CRM's "offline data".
In CSV files that I imported multiple times, All things are good, but although no error found, "timestamp_micros" of events did not appear in results after near 24 hours and time of upload is considered as timestamp of data.
Is this format for "Timestamp_micros" is TRUE?

How can I add timestamp dimension on import data offline in Google Analytics 4? Can be done without using GTM?
I expect that timestamp related to each event would appear correctly in results and reports.
That documentation page
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10325025?hl=en#template
gives an example
As you see it's a Unix time format

Is there a way to upload all of the data from GA3 to GA4? I've tried uploading CSV files downloaded from GA3 although I keep running into record errors.
The underlying data structure of Universal analytics and analytics ga4 is completely different.
UA analytics was based upon pageviews and screen views. While ga4 everything its based on events.
There is no way to covert UA data to GA4 because they are so different.
Beyond that Google analytics is hit based as in a point of time. While you can insert offline data that data would be no more then a few hours old. Inserting data from a website that had been recording data for years would not be possible.
Universal Analytics will be going away
After July 1, 2023, you'll be able to access your previously processed data in your Universal Analytics property for at least six months. We know your data is important to you, and we strongly encourage you to export your historical reports during this time.
The only real option google is giving us is to export it to a csv.
We've developed a Flutter mobile App and we've firebase account.
For our App we need to add Firebase analytics for the App Events such as button clicks.
We've integrated the Analytics SDK in the Mobile App and created an Events with custom parameters and we can see the count of Events and Users counts in the Firebase Excel/CSV report but we're unable to see the custom parameters in the report.
Our requirement is to see the Events analytics reports with the custom parameters in CSV report without linking the Bigquery. Please advise with the steps.
Thanks!
Custom parameters are included in the download as a CSV report. You can actually replicate this using the Firebase demo project. Go to Analytics > Events > click on level_complete event. In the level_complete page, you will see the level_name parameter card and its values. When you download this as CSV, you can see the list of level_name values in the file with metrics such as the number of times it has been logged and number of users who logged it.
Please note that when you register custom parameters, a data card for each parameter is added to the related event-detail report. However, it may take up to 24 hours for the data card to appear. During this 24-hour period, you may see (not set) appear as a parameter value. Once that initial 24-hour period has passed, you will see the expected parameter values from that point forward. See this documentation for your reference.
For seeing parameters in firebase dashboard as well as in csv report first check if the event is triggered in DebugView and then you need to define some custom definitions.
In new custom definition choose from your previously given parameters. Normally it takes several hours to get the parameters in event parameter.
The parameter will be shown in Dashboard as event parameter after 24 hours and you can download it as CSV/pdf
Also for analyze data you can use Google Data Studio which imports your data from analytics and helps to generate different types of graphical reports according to your need.
I had two days of event tracking lost due to a trigger being changed. I have the data in an excel file and need to import it into my GA reports. Is this even possible? From what I have read, it seems that I could create a custom metric for the lost data and use a custom dimension that I already send with the event, as the key. Does anyone have any insight into a solution?
Data Import does not change data that's already been collected (unless you have GA Premium, which can apply data via query time imports apparently), plus you cannot create hits with data imports, so you cannot create events retrospectively (plus I do not quite understand the last part of the question, if you haven't sent the event then you have not sent any custom dimensions attached to it; custom dimensions are only sent together with interaction hits).
If it were just a few hours you might experiment with measurement protocol hits and the queue time parameter, but even if the 4 hours max queue time are apparently not a fixed limit it will certainly not work for two days. Plus you would have a hard time to connect those hits to an existing session.
All in all I don't think there is a way to do this.
Is there a way to send a daily report with the current date's traffic only (not the whole month)? For example, if the report is sent 2015/01/25, I'd like to see traffic from 2015/01/25. I know I can manually select the data range but I'm looking for something that will automatically send daily PDF email report for current day only.
In the Email dialog of the Custom Reporting section, you can select a frequency of Daily and that will send your report every day for the previous day's data. Usually this is what you want since data for today will not always be current or accurate.
If you really need today's data, you can use the Core Reporting API and set the value for the start-date and end-date parameters to 'today'.
If you want to automate this process without too much effort, I'd recommend checking out the Google Analytics Spreadsheet Add-on, which uses the Core Reporting API behind the scenes. It won't email you reports, but you can do everything else you're asking.
we've had some problems with the tracking of the transactions in Google Analytics in our e-commerce website, and now we've lost a couple of months of data due to a configuration error.
Is it possible to bulk import in some way these transactions, along with their additional parameters (date of event, transaction code, money amount)?
We know when every one of these events has taken place, but we would like to import it back into Analytics to have the complete statistics.
Thank you for the help
If the data is in MySQL say for example.
Run a MySQL command which pulls all the orders from the date_you_want_start_from and then limit it till the date_you_want_to_end_from
With this data, then create a MySQL view call it "import_table"
Create a PHP and XML script which loads all the data from import_table, it then writes and fills the XML feed
Just run that XML feed now inside your analytic loop JavaScript and it will loop and basically add data into the past for you.
Note: PHP, XML and MySQL is just a scenario to give you a head on to do it.
