                                                                                                                  The Google account you use to access Google Analytics must have access to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project where the GA4 raw data can be extracted to. To learn how to create a GCP project, refer to the GCP documentation.

                                                                                                                  To set up the GA4 raw data extraction, do the following:

                                                                                                                  1. Sign in to Google Analytics.

                                                                                                                  2. From the dropdown list in the top navigation bar, select a GA4 property.

                                                                                                                  3. Enter the Admin panel.

                                                                                                                  4. Under the Product links column, select the BigQuery Links option.

                                                                                                                  5. Select Link » Choose a BigQuery project. From the available list, select the GCP project where you want to extract the GA4 raw data to.
