google-big-queryHow can I use Google BigQuery to retrieve data from a specific year?


Google BigQuery is a cloud-based data warehousing service that can be used to query and retrieve data from a specific year.

To use BigQuery to retrieve data from a specific year, you can use the WHERE clause with the YEAR function. For example, the following query will return data from the year 2020:

SELECT *
FROM my_dataset.my_table
WHERE YEAR(date_column) = 2020

The WHERE clause is used to filter the data returned from the query, and the YEAR function is used to extract the year from the date_column and filter it to only return data from the year 2020.

Code explanation

  • SELECT - used to specify the columns to be returned from the query
  • FROM - used to specify the dataset and table to query
  • WHERE - used to filter the data returned from the query
  • YEAR - used to extract the year from the date_column
