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 incolumn_name
.AS counter
renames the result column tocounter
for easier reference.- Replace
project_id.dataset_id.table_name
with your actual table's path.
