I just set up Google Tag Manager to fire events when pressing add to cart button. The events are fired correctly using Preview.
Then in Google Analytics, i set up a Goal with Event's label equal to "Add To Cart" (which is the same label i used when creating the Tag in Google Tag Manager).
I can see the goal being recorded if i'm in Real-Time/Conversions
But when i'm in Conversions/Goals/Overview i'm not seeing anything, even though i already set the date range correctly. Is there anything wrong with my setup?
Google Analytics isn't intended to be a real-time tracker, and Goals is one report that does show a delay in reporting. Give it 24 hours (it'll probably show results before that, but 24 hours is recommended to see accurate reports.)

Many of the conversions that my Firebase web app reports to my Google Analytics 4 property aren't showing up in Google Ads.
I have a single-page web app that uses the Firebase Analytics JS API to report custom events for a Google Analytics 4 property, including two events that have been marked as conversions in the Google Analytics "Conversions" page. All of the events reported by the app appear as expected in Google Analytics.
The GA4 property is linked with a Google Ads account that has auto-tagging enabled. I've imported the conversion events using the Ads site with a Count setting of "Every" (rather than "One"), but less than half of new ad-derived conversions are shown in Ads. For example, Analytics reports 55 occurrences of a conversion event two days ago, but Ads reports only 20 occurrences of the event for the same day.
I've used the Google Analytics Debugger extension to confirm that events contain a tid parameter with the GA4 property ID and a dl parameter that preserves the URL's gclid query parameter (using this approach). I've also used BigQuery to view the underlying Analytics events, and I can see that their page_location parameters preserve the gclid parameter and that they have correct value and currency parameters (e.g. 0.5 and "USD").
Are there other factors that affect whether GA4 events are correctly displayed in Google Ads? I'm confused by the way that some, but not all, events are showing up in Ads. I had a call with Google Ads support this morning but they aren't trained in diagnosing conversion-reporting issues.
Are the conversion events not showing up at all, or just not showing up after a couple of days? If it's the former, it's possible that there is a delay before the conversion reporting makes it to Google Ads and gets reported to the console.
As for inspecting the BigQuery conversion events for the correct tracking data, make sure to use the events_ table rather than the events_intraday tables as the summary tables more accurately reflect the count for events logged that day.
Beyond that it looks like your setup is correct since some conversion events are already being reported, but just in case here is a link to the Google Ads help center on all the steps required to make sure the Google Analytics 4 property used by Firebase is correctly linked to Google Ads.
in my site i have google analytics tag coded it works in real-time but when i go to behavior nothing show up.. it says there is only one event, in the graph section but down in the report section there's nothing.

If you are using GA free, please be advised that the data will be visible in reports within 24-72 hrs. If you see the data in real-time reports, be assured it will show up in the reports in due time.
Why Custom Report in GA does not update? Maybe it takes some time for it to update? If so, how much time will it take?
Let me show you my GTM and GA setup.
Here I am sending an event, this event triggers a tag in GTM. Below you can see the tag content.
I setup two custom dimensions (with indexes 2 and 3) in GA and one custom metric (with index 2). Let me show them to you.
Also I setup a custom report in GA. Let me show its view next.
Now I am expecting to have the view in GA updated whenever the tag is fired in GTM, because the tag has indexes of the dimensions which participate in the custom report and it increments the metric which participates in the report in this line of the tag:
but the custom report does not update. I tried to wait for 5-10 minutes and it does not change. What am I missing here?
Also I verified that the fired tag actually reaches from GTM to GA by going to Real-Time -> Events in GA.
That seems to be all info about my problem. I am very new to GA, so I may miss some important for the diagnosing of the issue info, in such a case, please, ask me what I need to tell you. Thank you.
I tried to wait for 5-10 minutes and it does not change.
You should wait for 24 (up to 48) hours to see all reports excluding Real Time.
It's processing latency in standard GA.

I have created a dynamic link through the Firebase console. The link works correctly according to its flow.
The issue is that the link analytics does not work. On the day of creation, Firebase counted clicks. But on the day after creation, total amount of clicks is equal to zero (while I know that there were at least 11 clicks).
How to solve this?
There are a couple of things that may have happened here:
1) There was recently a change that meant that clicks are no longer reported right away. This is actually to enable the new link analytics API: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/dynamic-links/analytics
2) Dynamic Links also reports to Google Analytics for Firebase. These reports default to showing "yesterday" which can be a bit confusing. GA also batches its reporting on the client side to save battery, so even though analytics are recorded, they aren't necessarily reported until later.
I'm new to Google Analytics. Yesterday, I created an account and I pointed it to our website. I've added the JavaScript codes that Google Analytics generated for us. I put the code on all of our .html files.
I've been hitting our website from outside and so does my officemates since last night and also today. However, when I visited https://www.google.com/analytics under Reporting, everything was showing 0. I don't see any single spike at all.
I would recommend navigating to the Reporting -> Realtime -> Overview tab within your Google Analytics (GA) account. This is an almost realtime view into users on your site. In a separate tab access your site and refresh the page, this page view event should then be visible in the GA Realtime view.
If you can see your page view then its likely that you've inserted the correct GA script into your page and that you've used the correct GA property id. If you cant see your own page view then you will know that your script is incorrectly inserted or your GA property id is incorrect.
Last bit of advice: GA often has a 24-48 delay before you are able to use its full suite of insight tools (such as GA Goals). If you're expecting to see Goals populate immediately you're gonna have a bad time.
Last-last bit of advice: make sure that you select the current date from the date range picker in the top right of the GA Reporting view. It defaults to yesterday.
