- [GA4] Measurement ID
A measurement ID in Google Analytics is a unique identifier for a web data stream (which is a website registered within Google Analytics). The format of a measurement ID in Google Analytics 4 is 'G-' followed by a combination of numbers and letters, such as 'G-PSW1MY7HB4.'
The measurement ID acts as a critical link, connecting your website to the corresponding data stream in Google Analytics 4. It ensures that the data from your site is sent to the right location.
In Google Analytics 4, the measurement ID is the same ID as the destination ID.

To find the measurement ID, follow these steps:
- In Admin, under Data collection and modification, click Data streams.
Note: The previous link opens to the last Analytics property you accessed. You can change the property using the property selector. You must be an Editor or above at the property level tofind your measurement ID.
- Select theWebtab.
- Click the web data stream.
- Find the measurement ID in the first row of the stream details.
