I have been playing with google analytics and its data import feature. In playing, I have created a couple of data imports that don't do what I really want them to.
Is there a way to delete them once they are no longer required?
You cannot delete the "standard" processing time import (see list item 2) in the screenshot):
In a GA360 account you can delete query time imports by clicking "manage uploads", tick the checkbox before the data files you want to delete and hit "delete selected":
As mentioned this is only available in paid-for accounts.

I'm creating a report in google data studio using google analytics data source. Now i want to use the filers in the page setting as an external input. So user can input the filter string and can see the data. Somehow i need to pass the string to the data studio so the report will be generated on the basis of that filter.
I appreciate any small help, thanks.
If i were you I would make the input in Google Sheets and direct string to there.
NExt step is link the string to Google Datastudio via "Add data". Even if it is only one cell it should work. Now you can try to somehow make the filter auto select this data and there you go.
After a solid load of searching I'm still not able to find a way to automate the export of Google Firebase Analytics data.
I need to import a few KPIs in an existing Google Sheet every month.
Isn't there any option to query the Firebase API through the Google Sheet and GET the KPI I need into a cell somehow every month?
There are ways (and even plugins) to do that for Google Analytics data. So I was sure it should be possible for firebase aswell.
To import Firebase analytics data into a Google Spreadsheet, you'll need to go through BigQuery. There's a Google Spreadsheet add-on called OWOX but I couldn't get it to work, so here's how to do it via creating a Google Apps Script:
In Firebase under Project settings (under the gear icon) -> Account Linking : find the BigQuery tile and sign up if you haven't already. This DOES require moving to the Blaze pay-as-you-go plan, but there's a generous amount of free usage in this tier so you're likely to avoid costs, but you do need to provide the usual billing info.
After signing up for Blaze, you'll go back under this Account Linking section and you'll see that BigQuery is now linked to your apps. Click on "Manage Linking" and you'll likely see "Syncing dataset" for awhile... like several hours (note, this page doesn't seem to refresh on its own so you'll have to refresh manually to check status). Once this is complete, you'll be able to access your data via BigQuery on the Google Spreadsheets side.
In your Google Spreadsheet, select Tools -> Script Editor. There's a good starter script here: https://greenido.wordpress.com/2013/12/16/big-query-and-google-spreadsheet-intergration/
In Google Script editor, select Resources -> Advanced Google services and ensure you turn on BigQuery API. Now your script will have access to BigQuery data.
For my needs, I was just trying to get a count of some events in Firebase, so I wrote a function to invoke multiple queries like this:
function runQueries() {
var sql;
// fetch bigQuery data for Firebase app Create Wildlink (bottom row app)
sql = "#standardSQL\nSELECT count(event_dim) as event_count FROM `PROJECTID.TABLENAME.app_events_*`, UNNEST(event_dim) as event WHERE event.name = 'target_event_name'";
runQuery(sql, 1, 1, 'Label 1');
// fetch bigQuery data for Firebase app Share Extension (top row app)
sql = "#standardSQL\nSELECT count(event_dim) as event_count FROM `PROJECTID.TABLENAME.app_events_*`, UNNEST(event_dim) as event WHERE event.name = 'target_event_name_2'";
runQuery(sql, 3, 1, 'Label 2');
Browser.msgBox("Finished updating the results");
}
And then I changed the runQuery function to accept and use those params:
function runQuery(sql, insertRow, insertCol, label) {
...
sheet.getRange(insertRow, insertCol + 1, resultCount, tableRows[0].getF().length).setValues(resultValues);
sheet.getRange(insertRow, insertCol).setValue(label);
A few important notes about this method:
Events don't appear to be imported retroactively. From the moment you tie Firebase to BigQuery you start getting event data, but it doesn't import any old data.
Events are imported into day-parted tables. Note in the example above the wildcard in the table reference to span tables.
The example above uses StandardSQL (which was new to me). Note the #standardSQL\n in the above SQL strings. That changes from the default mode (LegacySQL). I ran into challenges using legacy SQL to get at the data.
Let me help you to deal with the OWOX BI BigQuery Add-on and simplify steps 3 to 6 from the answer above.
First of all, you really need to link BigQuery to your apps (Ian wrote good instruction how to do that in steps 1 and 2).
Then:
Add OWOX BI BigQuery Reports Add-on to your Chrome browser,
Open your Google Sheet, run add-on (Add-ons -> OWOX BI BigQuery Reports -> Add a new report),
Provide the add-on with the access to your BQ tables,
Select your Google BigQuery project in a drop-down list,
And create a new query (once again, Ian provide you with a good example of the query)
You can find some more details about OWOX BI BigQuery add-on in our Help Center. And feel free to write to us via email (bi#owox.com) or in chat - we’ll be happy to answer any of your questions.

I have loaded data from a Google Sheet into an App Maker datasource. Now I have made a change to the original sheet and want to import the new data and overwrite the old or alternatively just clear the existing data and import the new data from the sheet. I don't see a way to do either in the docs.
I use the following command to clear a drivetable when needed:
app.datasources.DatasourceName.unload();
Edit:
This will clear the table on the client. To delete all Records in a drive table use the following server script:
var records = app.models.ModelName.newQuery().run();
app.deleteRecords(records);
I'm trying to import data in to analytics. When I select the "User Data type" it allows me to set user ID as the key, but then I can't select any metrics? Screen here

You need to first create user scoped custom dimensions. See this complete example of how to import user data into Google Analytics.
I'm customizing a SugarCRM 5, and in my SugarCRM database I have all invoices which were imported from our ERP. Now, I would like to know if it is possible to create a new sub-panel in the Accounts Panel without editing the original SugarCRM files, so that my client invoices index are visible in that interface.
Last time I checked, you could use the module builder to extend the interface. From 5.0 (or maybe 4.x) on, Sugar added all those APIs, which should enable you to extend SugarCRM without hacking it in and losing it with the next upgrade.
Hope that helps!
You can create a new module - Invoices using Module Builder and then add relations between Accounts and Invoices. The subpanels will appear for both - Accounts and Invoices without any coding. You should just customize the columns again using Module Builder.
as stated above, create invoices module to hold all your invoices, but before doing import make relationship with accounts and map the account field when importing so the invoice is automatically connect in subpanel and shown
Basically, the Account name should be a related field in your new invoices module (base the module creation on something like QUOTES that has similar fields. Once you create the module (so simple you can almost guess your way through it in the ADMIN section) and the fields you like (using Studio) just add the RELATED field Account Name and the sub-panel will be established in your ACCOUNTS module and the invoice will magically populate, especially if you re-install them using the import feature from a CSV file (spreadsheet).
You can create sub-panels in account modules details view by just giving relationship within two modules. Create a one-to-many relationship from Account module to Invoices module.
