'BigQuery public datasets cannot be found (`bigquery-public-data`)

In the left panel of BigQuery, the dataset bigquery-public-data is nowhere to be found.

I have no idea how it disappeared. Does anyone have a solution to integrate it back?



Solution 1:[1]

In the old (Classic) UI, you can pin the project back by following the steps in the "Adding a project" section of this document. There is a screenshot in the link.

I'm not sure how it disappeared from your Console, but there is a "Remove project from panel" option in the down arrow icon next to each pinned project.

Solution 2:[2]

I am currently enrolled in the Google Data Analytics course and just found where an instructor told us how to pin the bigquery-public-data to the explorer!

In the search bar of your explorer, type "public" and then select the broaden search in blue. This should populate the bigquery-data-public so that you are able to pin it to your explorer.

I have spent two days trying to figure this out so I hope this reaches someone in need!
