How can one find the count of unique events in Big Query ? I am having a hard time calculating the count of Unique events and matching it with GA interface.

two ways how this is used:
1) One is as the original linked documentation says, to combine full visitor user id, and their different session id: visitId, and count those.
SELECT
EXACT_COUNT_DISTINCT(combinedVisitorId)
FROM (
SELECT
CONCAT(fullVisitorId,string(VisitId)) AS combinedVisitorId
FROM
[google.com:analytics-bigquery:LondonCycleHelmet.ga_sessions_20130910]
WHERE
hits.type='PAGE' )
2) The other is just counting distinct fullVisitorIds
SELECT
EXACT_COUNT_DISTINCT(fullVisitorId)
FROM
[google.com:analytics-bigquery:LondonCycleHelmet.ga_sessions_20130910]
WHERE
hits.type='PAGE'
