Table Specific Information

Select

Google Analytics only allows up to 10 Metrics and 7 Dimensions in a single query. Therefore, when issuing a query that selects all columns, only the default Metric columns will be selected for tables with more than 10 Metrics. The default Dimensions will be used unless you explicitly select other dimension columns. The following query uses Keyword instead of the default Campaign dimension:

SELECT Keyword, Sessions, Impressions, AdClicks, AdCost, CTR, CPC, RPC, ROI, Margin FROM AdWords
Filters can also be used in the WHERE clause. Dimension fields support the =, !=, LIKE, and NOT LIKE operators. Metric fields support =, !=, >, >=, <, and <= operators. This query will find the total number of AdClicks from the United States:
SELECT Country, AdClicks FROM AdWords WHERE Country = 'United States'
All reports in Google Analytics must cover a specific date range. The default behavior is to pull the last month of data if the StartDate and EndDate inputs are left unset. To override this behavior, the values can be set directly in the query. For example:
SELECT * FROM AdWords WHERE StartDate = '90daysAgo' AND EndDate = 'Today'
Because there are more than 10 Metrics available for the AdWords table, a query that selects all columns only returns the default Metrics for this table (see columns marked as default Metrics below). If you need to select other Metrics, select them explicitly instead of using '*'. The default dimension for the table will be used unless another dimension is specified in the select columns, the DefaultFilter, or the Dimensions column in the WHERE clause. See Retrieving Google Analytics Data for more information about SELECT * queries. The following queries return the same results:
SELECT Campaign, Sessions, Impressions, AdClicks, AdCost, CTR, CPC, RPC, ROI, Margin FROM AdWords
