Thanks for sharing, I have a small question:
why do you take
traffic_source.source for utm_source?

As long as I know this is the first source of a user, assuming that
(SELECT value.string_value FROM UNNEST(event_params) WHERE key="source") is the actual source of the session, taking into account that a session can have multiple sources.

@KobozevYaroslav has a point

Thanks for this. One question:
shouldn't be enough to take user_pseudo_id and timestamp for the event_id?
I mean, that user in that moment will have only one event type.
CONCAT(user_pseudo_id,'-',event_name,'-',CAST(event_timestamp AS STRING)) AS event_id,

@KobozevYaroslav
Copy link

I think yes - but firstly I would check if there is only one pair of event_name-event_timestamp across one user. Maybe You can add session_id as well.

@robertopalloni

Apparently, I'm wrong with "real" data: GROUP BY on user_pseudo_id, event_name, event_timestamp gives you count(*) > 1

Actually I found source data also in events_param and page_location url and in many case fields are alternatively empty. I could not find which is the difference of source at record, events_param and page_location level

Have You analysed more precisely these cases?

@KobozevYaroslav
Copy link

You need these:

(SELECT value.string_value FROM UNNEST(event_params) WHERE key="source") as source,
(SELECT value.string_value FROM UNNEST(event_params) WHERE key="medium") as medium,

@robertopalloni
Copy link

Yeah this is event_params UTMs.
What I'm saying is that you have also UTM at record level (traffic_source, traffic_medium, traffic_name) and at page_location level (in url, e.g. &utm_source, &utm_medium). Btw they are not always present in all the three places and actually would like to understand the difference among the three.

DensityDanil commented Oct 28, 2023

as exception there might be case
when you have at least one NULL value (any of user_pseudo_id,event_name,event_timestamp) in your string concatenation:

CONCAT(user_pseudo_id,'-',event_name,'-',CAST(event_timestamp AS STRING)) AS event_id

this will return NULL as result for record

there is proof
check it in your bigquery:

select 1,concat(NULL,'a','b') -- NULL
union all
select 2,concat('a',NULL,'b') -- NULL
union all
select 3,concat('a','b',NULL) -- NULL

so if this not excpected
use

CONCAT( IFNULL(user_pseudo_id,'some')
              ,'-'
              ,IFNULL(event_name,'thing')
              ,'-'
              ,IFNULL(CAST(event_timestamp AS STRING),'happend')
              ) AS event_id
