## Table Selection

When setting up an integration with the GA4 connector in Daton, you have the flexibility to choose the specific metrics and dimensions that you want to retrieve from Google Analytics.&#x20;

* Each combination of Metrics and Dimensions would be stored as a table in the selected warehouse along with additional metadata.
* A maximum of 9 dimensions and 10 metrics can be added to a single table.
* Follow this [link](/daton/integrations/data-sources/analytics/ga4/schema-information.md) to know about the schema applied to store this data in your warehouse.

GA4 offers a wide range of metrics and dimensions that provide valuable insights into your website or app's performance. \
\&#xNAN;*To know your dimensions and metrics combination better, follow this* [*link*](https://ga-dev-tools.google/dimensions-metrics-explorer/)*.*

You can select the most relevant metrics and dimensions based on your analysis requirements and business objectives. This selective data retrieval ensures that you focus on the KPIs that matter most to your organization, optimizing data storage and analysis.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://daton-sarasanalytics.gitbook.io/daton/integrations/data-sources/analytics/ga4/essential-attributes-and-table-selection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
