GA4 Connector append data

Atieh

Hi

I used the connector to bring 365 days of data into Domo from GA4 which took almost 14 hrs

Now I don't want to use huge amount of credits on updating this daily. Was thinking may be instead I can append yesterday data only to these already pulled data. Any Idea how to do that?

Appreciate your thoughts and solutions here!

It shouldn't but to be safe you could create a duplicate dataset first

ColemenWilson

Yes. In the dataset click "Settings" and then "Details" and then in the Date Range section choose "Append Data"

@ColemenWilson I know that, but I am afraid if I do that it deleted all the pulled data next time that it updates. No?

Can you confirm please?

@ColemenWilson Dumb question: How to duplicate a dataset?

ColemenWilson

There is no one-click way to duplicate a dataset. You'll have to just create a new dataset that is a duplicate of the original.

You also could have a "history" dataset and a "real-time" dataset and append them in an ETL.

@trafalger Oh you mean I create another dataset but this time with appended data in data range and connect them together? Seems smart!

Better than waiting another 14 hours eh?
