In Google BigQuery, you can use the COUNT function to count the occurrences of values in a column. Here's an example query where we count the number of rows in a column and give the result an alias (counter):

SELECT COUNT(column_name) AS counter
FROM `project_id.dataset_id.table_name`;

Explanation:

  • COUNT(column_name) counts the number of non-NULL values in column_name.
  • AS counter renames the result column to counter for easier reference.
  • Replace project_id.dataset_id.table_name with your actual table's path.
