Thanks for the comment, Ali! This post isn’t looking for the cheapest or most robust way to manage the process of getting GA4 data through BigQuery and into reports, so much as the one most accessible to analysts less familiar with the Google Cloud Platform. This method is presented as an improvement over using scheduled queries that overwrite entire tables, without having to learn Dataform.

Dataform is indeed a more powerful option, but it is also a more complicated one, that I feel it makes sense to build up to. As a result, I’m planning on doing some posts on using Dataform come July.

The most cost-effective way to add new tables incrementally is by using dataform and running it incrementally to identify the exact table_id created each day. This approach allows us to query only one table instead of 7 days’ worth of data.
