Hello everyone, I am working on comparing data from a previous data input, Universal Analytics, to a new one, Google Analytics 4. Basically, there was an update and data is formatted differently. I am attempting to join the two datasets to compare the month of A

ugust for variances, but the closest thing to a unique column value is 'Page Title'. This has multiple instances in the data. How can I compare these? A new unique value wouldn't translate between datasets. I have attached the schemas. Thank you!

    You should be able to get the page URL to get a more exact match from GA4 / UA.

    Thanks @GrantSmith! Do you know how I would calculate the variance between metrics, say views per session? Would I do a left join or a full outer?
