I've been doing business analytics for a little less than a year, I came across your channel, it's very interesting and informative, I discovered a lot of new information for myself, thank you. I'm waiting for new videos, I really like them.
So is there no way to marry up your historical UA data with newly collected GA4 data (now that UA has stopped - or is about to)? I get that you can migrate events to pick up the same events in GA4, but how to report UA and GA4 together as if Google never changed to GA4 from UA?
Thank you so much for your video! My old UA and its event were hard coded, but I'd like to install GA4 through Google Tag Manager. Can I leave the old UA as hardcoded even after the GA4 setup?
How do I re-use an event parameter when creating a custome dimension in GA4? For example I have an event parameter click_text set up for a custom dimension but when I try to use click_text for a new dimension it says there is already a dimension registered with this name. I'm trying to re-use the parameters to avoid adding to many and reaching to max of 50.
Google’s Universal Analytics (UA) will stop collecting data on July 1st, 2023. After that, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) will be the default platform. You should do the transfer as soon as possible so you would get used to the program quicker.
It looks like in GA4, we need to setup event parameter same as condition in tag manager i.e. when to fire event such as if page URL contains 'page_name'. Is that right? What shall I use the parameter if I need to track click for footer link click?
Question... I had my Universal Analytics set up already but have not even opened my store yet. I assume that I still have to migrate correct? Also there is one part in the set up that talks about copying some Google code and pasting it in every coded page on my website is what it sounds like. Does that mean literally every coded page becasue my website has a lot of those as I used a 3rd party theme for my store form Out of the Sandbox though Shopify. Thanks
Thanks for this great content! I have a client that wants to be able to view a report that mimics the "Audience Overview" from GA3 in their GA4 property. Do you have any tutorials/resources for setting this up?

I have no gotten to the part of the course yet. I use a lot of event tracking tags with my clients and this is helpful👍
Is G4 this bad or am I missing something? It looks awful and useless change by Google.
So I'm not alone on this. It is horrible and UA is way better.
Sometimes when the mic hides some letters your shirt reads "Anal mania". Sorry I had to say it. Thanks for a good tutorial!
You are amazing and made me understand migration issues better.
Hi, despite we put data retention as 14 months, we are getting only last 1 month data in G4A reports, kindly help on this

Thank you for the video! For the GA4 configuration tag, does it matter if the trigger is 'all pages' or 'all pages-initialisation'?
Can we still use Category Action and Label in GA4?
Great video. Thank you!
Can GA4 be used to track across different platforms, such as websites and mobile apps?
Can we use the UA triggers in GA4? After July 1st will it work? @analytics Mania
Triggers are not connected to any analytics tool. So you can use same triggers for GA4 and GA3
Thank you so much for your video! My old UA and its event were hard coded, but I'd like to install GA4 through Google Tag Manager. Can I leave the old UA as hardcoded even after the GA4 setup?
yeah you can leave the old UA setup. could be good to double check values against the GA4 version
Thanks Master!
I have wait 24 hours but I still can't see the value on the revenue. but I see the value on the debug view. Do you have any idea why?
If you don't see revenue numbers, you probably are not sending all necessary parameters. For example, currency is necessary and many people miss it.

So maybe you already have a registered dimension named click_text? If yes, just use the click_text parameter in some other event and it will work fine
@@AnalyticsMania ok thanks for the response. i will try that.
Hi! If I have embedded my gtag.js in the head and body of my website, do I also have to configure the GA-4 tag configuration on GTM?
If you don't plan to use GTM, no
When is the right time to transfer from GA to GA4 and how to do it?
Google’s Universal Analytics (UA) will stop collecting data on July 1st, 2023.
After that, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) will be the default platform.
You should do the transfer as soon as possible so you would get used to the program quicker.
Do you do courses in GTM for Apps and not only websites?
No, my main focus in the courses is on websites
@@AnalyticsMania okay thank you for the quick reply! Just one question you don't have any knowledge if GTM can be used for GA4 on apps then?
by migrating from google universal to GA4 does the tracking code to put on the website change?
@Analytics Mania - Google Tag Manager & Analytics
Just in time! I've been looking at our sandbox with tears in my eyes wondering how I was going to make the time to figure this out. Thanks Julius!
Same!
Tears in my eyes is exactly what Ive been feeling ever since I knew I had to, at some point, migrate.
What about on page events using JS, such as ga.send() or ga()?
I can't FIND configure tab in GA4
It looks like in GA4, we need to setup event parameter same as condition in tag manager i.e. when to fire event such as if page URL contains 'page_name'. Is that right?
What shall I use the parameter if I need to track click for footer link click?

Great as usual, thanks for your continued content on GA!

LOL I just got the oldest GAds account in my career and this movie is falling down the heaven 😂🥰😎🙌🏼

I also want this one
Is it possible to get all previous Universal Analytics data on GA4? If yes, please guide me through the process.
No
Thanks for the video. Is one of the benefits of migrating UA to GA4 that all the historic data will transfer over?
Historic data will not transfer over
I got one question - when you set up tag form like this. GA4 automaticly will detect event in “conversions”?
No, you have to mark an event as conversion
Hi. I do not have Google Tag Manager. How can I migrate conversions to GA4?
I would strongly recommend spending some time with Google Tag Manager. Julius' GTM beginner course set me on my current career path.
