Why don't I see timestamp in Google analytics Query Explorer - time

As per google analytics GA360 link, Why Can't we see the Visitor time-stamp dimension both on Front End and on Query Explorer
Query Explorer: https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/
My Intention is to know/find Page tracking time-stamp w.r.t seconds not in DateHourMinute
Do we need to implement the custom Dimension as stamp-time like(YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS:mmm) ?

The Google Analytics Query Explorer makes its calls via the google analytics API. The Google Analytics API has a list of valid dimensions and metrics time stamp is not one of these. valid Time dimensions
My advice would be yes create your own custom dimension using either a stamp like that or unix time its up to you how you do it or how you want to use it. You will then be able to access it though the custom dimensions

Get list of Conversations / Threads based on Date Filter?

We are using Yammer Feed on our SharePoint Site. I would like to get the list of all Conversations / Threads that falls within a specific date. For example, threads that fall within the last 7 days / last 30 days.
I am browsing the Yammer API, but can't see method to call. Is it possible? If so, can help point me in the right direction which REST endpoint to call?
Thank you
It isn't possible to do this with the REST APIs due to how feeds operate in Yammer. This isn't something that's done in the product and the APIs operate based on cursors. If you want to query for messages in this way you'd need to use the Data Export API to main your own repository of the data which would permit queries like this.

Is it possible to get " raw " data from Google Analytics, then to group the data yourself?

I need to get data from one query using 13 dimensions and 13 metrics. Because of the limitation, I can't do that. Q: is it possible to get raw data or how can you combine data from multiple queries with different dimensions?
If you are using Google Analytics Standard, then there is no way to fetch 13 dimensions in a single query. But if you have Google Analytics 360 aka Premium version then you can link your GA 360 account to BigQuery and then you can fetch such data using sql from BigQuery.
Having said that, there is a way for standard as well but its feasibility depends the kind of data you would want to fetch. You can use segment features if possible by creating a segment based on some of the dimensions and rest dimensions ( 5 maximum) can be put in custom report. For example if you want to fetch data such as sessions, transactions, bounce rate, time spent and other metrics on the basis of Gender type: Male, Device: desktop, Country: India, Age: 25-34, Browser: Chrome, and other dimensions are generic with no filters such as source, medium, event action, landing page and etc. Then, you can create a segment based on dimensions which sort of have filter criteria as per your requirement and use other dimensions which don't have filter criteria in custom report.But remember, the feasibility of this solution depends on your requirement.

Google Script Performance and Speed Comparison with Google Sheet Formula

I have one thousand Google Form Responses spreadsheets. These are students answer sheets. I built a spreadsheet and pull data (TimeStamps and scores) for each student by using Google Spreadsheet formulas (INDEX MATCH and IMPORTDATA). Each student has different pages. But, it takes too many times and sometimes causes some source sheets being unresponsive (I think because of heavy formula usage). My questions;
Is it possible to do the same thing (pulling data if matches student's name from one thousand spreadsheets) by using Google Script?
If possible, which ones (Google Spreadsheets with formulas or Google Script) performance is better?
By looking your answers I will decide to begin learning Google Script or not.
Thanks in advance.
Is it possible to do the same thing (pulling data if matches student's name from one thousand spreadsheets) by using Google Script?
Yes, it's possible.
NOTE: Bear in mind that Google Sheets has a 5 million cell limit, so if your data exceeds this limit, you should consider to use another data repository.
If possible, which ones (Google Spreadsheets with formulas or Google Script) performance is better?
Since most Google Sheets formulas are recalculated every time that a change is made in the spreadsheet that holds them, it's very likely that Google Apps Script will be better when using Google Sheets/Google Apps Script as database management system because we could have more control over when the database transactions will be made.

Why do we use SpreadsheetApp.flush();?
Both does the same thing. Both will be as intensive on your computer. My advice would be to upgrade your PC!

Generate number of search requests over a given year

Does anyone know if there is a way to generate a report that details how many search requests the GSA has handled over a given timeframe?
On the admin console: Reports > Search Logs.
Select the appropriate collection or All Collections.
Select the desired date range for the Report Timeframe.
From memory this only has access to a max 90 days historical data though so if you haven't been regularly exporting this data than you'll need to extrapolate the values from what is available.
As pointed by #BigMikeW Logs only retain data for 90 days. Unless you download every 90 days, you wont get it.
Other way is integration with Google Analytics and pass all search data to GA search behavior. That way you can use GA to play around and export for a year or even more. This is what I use.

How to Use Google BigQuery with the Google Places Library?

I'm looking to use the BigQuery tool to create a table of businesses in the United States, and I want to draw the information from Google Places in order to get certain results from the XML feed to insert into my own database. I'm wondering if that would be possible, and if so, how would I go about doing so?
This might not be possible under the "Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service".
