Unable to access the sample dataset for Google Analytics in BigQuery - google-analytics

Goolge very kindly offer a sample dataset of Google Analytics data in BigQuery, so you can run some tests before setting up the actual export to BigQuery.
This is detailed at the following page https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3416091?hl=en&ref_topic=3416089
However when you try to add the project google.com:analytics-bigquery as shown in step 5 of the guide. The following error is shown:
Project IDs may contain letters, numbers, and dashes, with an optional
"domain:" prefix.
As you can see the project ID conforms to this, but you are unable to submit the form.
Google is this just a bug?
Does anyone else have the same issue?

I am confirming - just tried and got the same.
Some-when recently - this dialog form was changed (added options to choose from - display in nav vs. make a current project) and looks like the bug was introduced. previous versions didn't have this bug.
At the same time - confirming that nothing wrong with project name itself - with the internal tool that I am using - I was able to add this project successfully
You should report this bug in BigQuery issue tracker.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We actually already have a fix checked in for this, but we are currently waiting for an opportunity to push this to production, hopefully soon.
In the meantime, you can try one of these workarounds:
navigate directly to the project: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/queries/<project_id>
navigate to a dataset on the project, which will display it in the left nav: https://bigquery.cloud.google.com/dataset/<project_id>:<dataset_id>

How to solve Structured Data and Syntax problems in Wordpress (Google Search Console notified me) - Photos in links of Imgur

Okay, since I tried to add structured data with Schema, several errors have occurred to me, and now that I have removed the wordpress plugin, they are still there, and there are even more problems, I have been trying to fix them for a long time and I just can't.
I will leave the following problems on the list:
Mistakes:
In structured data, the type of value is not correct.
In products, the score scale could not be determined and the value of the "reviewCount" property must be positive.
Warnings:
In products, the "priceValidUntil" field is missing, the "review" field is missing, the "url" field is missing, the "sku" field is missing, no international identifier has been provided, such as a GTIN, MPN or ISBN, missing the "description" field
I do not know if the problem is solved by changing the code in my wordpress, but I do not know how it is changed, uninstall the plugin all in one schema and it is not cured.

Good question. This is typical for schema markup and structured data that gets added in by a plugin. I stopped using the plugin and now add my own structured data. If you add your own, you have full control and can make these easy fixes.
Sounds like you know what code needs to be changed/added but cannot access it because the plugin added it somewhere in your HTML.
In this case I'd suggest leaving the existing code as is. Create your new structured data (the correct codes) and also add that in. There is no issue with having multiple sets so Google will ignore the data with errors.
There is a simple plugin that will add your scheme to the head of your posts or pages. Generating your structured data is also easy. Here is a guide for how to do all of this. https://master-influencer.com/how-to-add-structured-data-schema-markup-improve-your-seo-performance-rich-results-easy-way-wordpress-website/
Hope this helps.

Daydream (automated testing script writer) skipping random clicks, why is this?

Daydream is a chrome extension (by /segmentio on github) that records your actions into a Nightmare (automated testing) script.
I'm trying to create a tutorial for how to use it but it is not producing a consistent/accurate script when I repeat a simple user journey. Some actions are being missed from the end script in some instances and then being recorded successfully on another occasion.
This is the issue documenting my exploration on github: https://github.com/dwyl/learn-daydream-and-nightmare/issues/8
Initially I recognised the issue when navigating to a new tab in a test and so I commented on an existing issue on the subject on Segment's repo: https://github.com/segmentio/daydream/issues/31
The issue was first raised by another user in September 2016 and has not received any response so I think it's unlikely they will respond.
- Has anyone come across this problem using Daydream? and did you find a solution?
- Is there a specific action which may be causing this bug?
- Can anyone see any issues in the segmentio code that could be causing this?
Thanks :)

Measurement Protocol events in Google Analytics do no appear

I'm currently adding some tracking in my app with the Measurement Protocol. When I use it in dev/staging, it works like a charm, however when I am targeting production, it doesn't work anymore.
I've already try a bunch of tests and I know for sure that the problem isn't in my code: When I test with my old id (UA-xxx-1) it doesn't work, but when I create a new app (UA-xxx-2) it does work.
That's why I suspect I may have misconfigured something on the Google Analytics side.
Does anyone has an idea about what it could be?
I don't want to use a new web property since I already have a large amount historic data in the old one.
I've finally found the origin of the missing data: I had an old filter removing all the requests without Browser Size filled in.
Thx for the help.

Wrong reports by fastreport

We are using fastreport as report-engine for our asp.net-mvc-webapplication. Since months we are encountering heavy problems in using fastreport. Reports are shown in a seperate tab. They always include the fastreport-bar containing the refresh-button. This fastreport-refresh button refreshs the report by using the internal cache of fastreport. But at this point something is going wrong:
When the user refreshs the report a completely different report is shown. This refresh is a fastreport-function and does not involve any of our sourcecode. Users using the reports seems also having trouble with their session. They are regular asked to relogin since the session/authentication is not valid any more - users don't using any reports do not have these issues. Refreshing by browser is no problem.
Since we have not yet found a solution in collaboration with fastreport we are looking for other users encountering this issue and may have a solution.
You can send your message on support.fast-report.com. Also attach test project there.

Does any one implemented latest Google Analytics with iOS

I used step by step instruction here :
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/v2/#initialize
But still my hit is not being recorded. I can see in the debugging window its say something about dispatching number and start tracking again.
My another concern it what they assigned to tracker and then never used it.
Am I missing something. Someone please shed some light.
I have looked over the internet, there are all old and referring to old google analytics library which is having only two files. GANTracker.h and libGoogleAnalytics.a
New library got bunch of files hence the way they have implemented.
Code is pretty straight forward I dont know what it is not tracking the hits.
And Yes I have created tracking ID and I am familiar with the Google Analytics as I used it in past to track my websites and blogs.
I would appreciate if someone can give me some right pointers. Thanks.
As log window was having quite a lot info I have created a "paste"
