Source: https://help.steep.app/databases/bigquery

This is an example of a private key string for a BigQuery service account. Ensure the entire key, including the BEGIN and END markers, is copied accurately.

```text
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEvgIBADANBgkq…F6HhhtvY
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----

```

### Define an 'orders' Cube with measures and dimensions

Source: https://help.steep.app/integrations/cube

This example shows how to define a simple 'orders' cube in Cube, including a 'total' measure and 'created_at' and 'country' dimensions.

```yaml
cubes:
  - name: orders
    sql_table: orders

    measures:
      - name: total
        description: "Total number of orders received"
        sql: net_orders
        type: sum

    dimensions:
      - name: created_at
        sql: TIMESTAMP(created_at)
        type: time

      - name: country
        sql: country
        type: string

```

--------------------------------

### Define a Custom Ratio Metric

Source: https://help.steep.app/setup-and-manage/code-reference

Use the 'custom-ratio' type for ratios calculated using SQL expressions for both numerator and denominator. This example calculates KYC approval percentage.

```yaml
metrics:
  - identifier: "kyc_approved"
    name: "KYC Approved %"
    description: "Percentage of users approved through KYC processes. KYC stands for 'Know Your Customer': used to verify a customer's identity and assess risk, helping prevent fraud and financial crimes."
    type: "custom-ratio"
    time: "customers.created_at"
    numerator_sql: "SUM(CASE WHEN customers.country != 'SE' THEN 1 END)"
    denominator_sql: "COUNT(*)"
    format: "percentage"
    dimensions:
      - "this.*"

```

    description: "Sum of total order amount. Includes tax and revenue."
    includes:
      # Measure
      - orders.total
      # Time

    name: "Orders per Active User"
    description: "Number of orders per active customer"
    category: "Commercial"
    numerator: "orders"
    denominator: "active_customers"
    type: "derived-ratio"
    format: "number"
    dimensions:
      - "this.*"

```

--------------------------------

### Join Path Definition

Source: https://help.steep.app/setup-and-manage/code-reference

      column: "customer_id"
    type: "one-to-many"

```

--------------------------------

### Define a Count Metric

Source: https://help.steep.app/setup-and-manage/code-reference

    description: "Number of orders."
    category: "Operations"
    type: "count"
    time: "orders.created_at"
    owner_emails:
      - "vitor@company.com"
      - "ebba@company.com"
    filters:
      - column: "country"
        operator: "not-equals"
        expression: "test_country"
    dimensions:
      - "this.*"

```

--------------------------------

### Set Steep metadata for a measure in Cube

Source: https://help.steep.app/integrations/cube

```yaml
# Example
measures:
  - name: registrations
    ...
    meta:
      category_name: Onboarding
      owner_emails: [john@example.com]
      is_private: false
      unlisted: false

```

--------------------------------

### Define a Custom Value Metric

Source: https://help.steep.app/setup-and-manage/code-reference

```yaml
metrics:
  - identifier: "partner_orders"
    name: "Partner orders"
    description: "Orders coming in through partner."
    type: "custom-value"
    time: "orders.created_at"
    sql_expression: "SUM(CASE WHEN customers.type = 'partner' THEN orders.order_volume END)"
    dimensions:
      - "this.*"

```

--------------------------------

### Example User Attribute Table for RLS

Source: https://help.steep.app/setup-and-manage/row-level-security

sophie@company.com| sara@company.com| null  
sophie@company.com| null| SE
