Datalad tool
GA4 BigQuery Recipe Library
Twenty queries every GA4 analyst ends up writing from scratch. Put your table name in once and every recipe below is ready to paste into BigQuery. The defaults point at Google’s public sample export, so you can run any of them right now without touching your own data.

Why the date filter is on _TABLE_SUFFIX and not event_date
The export is one table per day. Filtering on _TABLE_SUFFIX stops BigQuery reading the days you did not ask for, so it is the difference between scanning a month and scanning your whole history. Filtering on event_date alone reads everything first, then throws most of it away, and you pay for all of it.
