I have implemented GA events for downloads, and they seem to work fine when looking into Real Time data. However, in the behaviour section the events show no results. I read that it could take up to 48 hours to process data in the behaviour section, but after almost two weeks it's still empty. Also double checked all the filters (date, labels, etc.).
What makes it even stranger, is that I see results from de day I took the code with the events implementation into production. The day after it went blank.

There doesn't seem to be many resources available for troubleshooting Google Optimize. I've been using the software for a year now with no issues. Optimize experiments update with new session data once or twice a day. As of recently, every time new data comes through, Optimize will zero out the session data.
The session data here looks correct until I click into the experiment:
When I click into an experiment, you'll see the Experiment Sessions don't add up correctly. The experiment sessions were being tracked correctly last night, and they correctly added up to the total Collected Sessions.
Everything is tracking correctly until Google pulls in more data. I'm not sure what's causing this and I can't get support from their community or support team. Data was collecting fine a week ago. I haven't changed my experiment goals or how the tests are running. The only thing I've changed in that time is how many tests I'm running at the same time. I used to only run 1 test at a time, and I'm now running 3. None of the tested pages, or primary goals overlap. I do have some secondary goals that overlap. Any thoughts?
It looks like this was happening as a result of Google Analytics Goal Events being delayed. It can take 24-48 hours for website event data to come through.
Environment: injected Google Analytics tracking in my SharePoint Online site - all good.
Now I have been clicking pages for more than an hour and wanted to check results. I see that tracking is working (see screenshot) - at that moment there was one active user (me) and have >30 page views in a 30min time window.
Problem: reports (user and page view count) seem to be empty, but I assume that there should be at least one user and multiple page view information. Is that correct or I am misusing Google Analytics?
Update:
Pressed "Refresh Report" and Google fetched new data. Unfortunately, nothing changed and data still is empty.
This report was generated on 12/04/2019 at 16:17:25
The time of when the report was generated is not reflective of how "fresh" the data is. For the free version of GA, there is no SLA and it can take upwards of 2 days, but generally under 24 hours. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7084038?hl=en
Seeing the user in realtime doesn't mean the data for the reports are updated. You need to be patient and wait.
If you're seeing data in the real time reports then the standard reports should populate. This can take time though in my experience the latency is usually less than 1 hour. Are you looking at the standard reports in an entirely unfiltered view - might be worth checking to see if any filters are impacting your data though they should effect the real time reports as well.
We are using the free level of GA and have been creating reports using Custom Dimensions and Metrics since last summer.
We also use the Google Sheets Analytics add-on to post process data pulled from the API.
Overnight on 16-17 May (UK Time), our reports suddenly started showing as being sampled. Prior to that we had no sampling at all, as our reports are scheduled so I can look back through the revision history to see changes made when the scheduled reports run.
This sampling is occurring in custom reports viewed in the GA platform and in GA sheets. I've done some analysis and it appears to only occur at the point that more than one Custom Dimension is added to a report, or when the GA dimensions ga:hour or ga:dateHour are used (ga:date does not trigger sampling).
All our Custom Dimensions and Custom Metrics are set at Hit level (I've read a post where it was claimed to be due to mixing scopes on Dimensions & Metrics, but we are not doing this).
If I reduce the date range of a query (suggested as a solution on many blogs), the sampling level actually gets worse rather than better.
For the month of May we didn't even hit 4k sessions at property level. I can't find any reference anywhere to any changes being made to GA that would cause sampling to apply to our reports (change documentation, Google Blogs etc).
Is anyone else experiencing this or can anyone shed any light on why this might be happening? Given how we use GA if we can't resolve this then it's a year of work down the drain, so I'm really keen to at least know why this has suddenly happened even if ultimately nothing can be done about it.
I set up a new Universal Analytics property about 1 hour ago and added the code to my page. Everything looks fine and the same code is working well on other pages.
However, I cannot see any real-time data in the reports. If I only change the property ID in my code an leave everything else the same real-time data immediately shows up.
Does it take some time and if so how much until a property starts collecting data?
Well then ... it just started reporting data. Hope this post at least helps some others while being too impatient.
Took about 60 Minutes until it started to collect data.
If you have correctly installed the tracking snippet, collection will start immediately and you can verify in real time reports, assuming you are not filtering your own visits. Data won't appear in standard reports, however, for up to 24 hours (and you could even get data in as short as 1 hour as you have observed).
I have this GA-tracked application that is not counting all my events and goal conversions. Events are correctly displayed in the Real-Time chart, but the reports apparently discard some of them. My goal completion counts are being incorrectly reported, too - for example, in a given day my user registration goal displayed less than 20 goal completions but I had almost 100 new users.
I am using Universal Analytics and my pageview count is still low compared to the GA threshold.
Any thoughts?
I also found few bugs and especially some events not firing properly. Hence, I move to old code again. Even in old code,” doubleclick.js” code not working for some Event Tracking. After I replace the code with old” ga.js” file all the event functions start to work without any modifications to the source code. Please stick with the old code for next few months.
Just check Avinash website (http://www.kaushik.net) , as we all know he is the digital marketing evangelist for Google. He is still using the old ga.js code. This tells that this new Universal Analytics code have some hidden bugs and they are testing the code with user experience. Hence this is not the time to fully depend on Universal Analytics. Sooner they will come up with updates and then it will be ok to move to Universal Analytics.
