How can I filter double pageviews in Google Analytics reports? We''ve got GA code pasted twice and now we have unclear data. Any ideas?
You can't filter historical data that are consolidated in Analytics. If you have submitted 2 pageviews for it means you have seen 2 pages.

I have register with analytics and adwords accounts for my business. I have linked my adwords account to my analytics account. I have only one analytics and one adwords account. But the problem is, results for both analytics and adwords are showing differently in terms of goal completions.
Example 1 : 7 Conversions are showing in adwords report and 5 conversions are showing in analytics.
Example 2 : 7 Conversions are showing in adwords report and 9 conversions are showing in analytics.
Example 3 : 7 Conversions are showing in adwords report and 7 conversions are showing in analytics.
Note : some times it is showing equal and some time it is showing different.
Thanks in advance.
I wonder if you can help.
We have an ecommerce site. We integrate with both PayPal and WorldPay for our payments, and have added both secure.worldpay.com and paypal.com into the list of referral exclusions in Analytics. We have also added Adwords conversion tracking to the receipt page of our checkout process.
The problem we are experiencing is that the conversions being shown in adwords, is not the same as what Analytics is telling us. If I take this Monday for example. We had 14 orders. Adwords tells us it converted 13 of those orders, yet Analytics attributes 7 to CPC and 7 to organic.
We find ourselves in this really awkward position where we dont know which Google product to trust! Do we spend more on adwords believing that it converts almost all of our orders, or do we spend less considering it only accounts for 50% of the conversions!
We have one final weird issue, whereby every so often the ecommerce data will not be sent to Analytics. Is there anyway of getting ecommerce tracking data back from the call to check if there was an error?
Many thanks in advance

Google Adwords and Google Analytics measure conversions in different ways.
Google Adwords tracks clicks on ads, and when coupled to Google Analytics attributes conversions in a 30-day window to the ad (default setting). Read as: if someone makes a purchase within 30 days after clicking on an ad, it's because they have seen the ad.
Google Analytics mostly attributes conversions using last-click attribution, which means that the medium/source of the last click is given to the conversion.
If a user clicks on an ad for great headphones and ends up on a product detail page of headphones on website X. Then decides to leave website X to compare the headphones with offerings of other vendors: website Y and Z. Finally the user decides to return to the first website X by typing in "headphones website x" in a popular search engine (not clicking any ads).
Google Adwords will contribute the conversion to it's doing ("See that user clicked my ad and bought headphones within 30 days"). However Google Analytics will attribute that conversion to the organic channel ("That user that bought those headphones, the last time I saw him he came from a search engine, that's organic").
Another difference between Google Adwords and Google Analytics is that Adwords dates it's conversion on the time of the click on the ad, Google Analytics dates it's conversion on the date it takes place. So if the ad is clicked on Wednesday and the conversion takes place on friday, Adwords will date the conversion on wednesday and Google Analytics will date the conversion on Thursday.
See this article: Why do conversions reported by AdWords, Google Analytics, Digital Analytics, and Floodlight not match? https://support.google.com/ds/answer/2791195?hl=en
It is possible to choose an interval for a certain Google Analytics report?
I would like to be able to send a monthly report (for the last 30 days) on weekly basis.
I don't believe this is currently possible through the Google Analytics website, but you could use the Google Analytics Spreadsheet Add-on to achieve a very similar result.
You can Share almost any report in GA
Use Email option and set frequency Weekly.
I am new here so cant post image, would have posted screenshot otherwise.
When importing goals from Analytics into AdWords and then making changes to the goal criteria in Analytics, is it possible to "re-import" goals to AdWords with the changes or will it pick them up automatically?
When changing goals value it will be counted by Google Analytics from date when criteria is changed, It is not possible to change goals backwards.
There is no answer to this yet, it has to be manually achieved. Each Conversion that was imported into Adwords - has to be manually renamed to match the new value in Analytics. You cannot currently re-import Analytics Goals.
When importing from Google Analytics into AdWords is it possible to have Goals in GA with different campaigns trigger a different conversion in AdWords.
i.e. I want:
conversions for Goal 1 in Analytics with Campaign A to trigger Conversion X in Adwords
conversions for Goal 1 in Analytics with Campaign B to trigger Conversion Y in Adwords
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I would imagine creating two properties that would filter on campaigns with seperate goals for each property. Simply naming the goals Campaign #1, #2 etc. should give you what you're looking for, no?
