Gets a page_value metric from GA4 data in BigQuery that is similar to the Universal Analytics Page Value metric: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2695658 To use the query, replace the table references in lines 15 and 26 with your GA4 events table. Make sure to replace the table's date suffix with '*' so the query runs across date part…
