Check Output

After running GA4Dataform, you can inspect the output tables in BigQuery.

Output Datasets

GA4Dataform creates three datasets in your BigQuery project:

superform_outputs_{dataset_id} - Analysis-ready tables

  • Core GA4 tables: ga4_events, ga4_sessions, ga4_transactions
  • Premium module tables (if enabled) 💎
  • Demo tables: demo_daily_sessions_report, demo_diagnostics

superform_transformations_{dataset_id} - Intermediate tables

  • Processing tables used during transformation
  • Session and transaction intermediates

superform_quality_{dataset_id} - Data quality checks

  • Assertion results and logs
  • Data validation outputs
Complete Table List

See the Product Architecture documentation for a complete list of all output tables organized by dataset.

Check Your Tables

  1. Navigate to BigQuery: Open your GCP project and go to BigQuery.

  2. Find Output Dataset: Locate the superform_outputs_{dataset_id} dataset in the left sidebar.

  3. Inspect Tables: You'll see your processed GA4 data in tables like:

    • ga4_events - Flattened event data with custom parameters
    • ga4_sessions - Session-level aggregations and metrics
    • ga4_transactions - E-commerce transaction data

Scheduling

Processing Time

Depending on your data volume and the number of custom parameters being unnested, processing can take anywhere from 1-2 minutes to 2 hours in rare cases. First runs typically take longer as they process historical data.
