I have an issue with my Funnel Visualization in Google Analytics where the funnels are showing as zero for every step - even although the Goal Funnel report just above it shows a conversion rate for that goal.
I have Funnel as 'ON' for this goal, but it is not showing anything.
Am I misunderstanding something about funnels here or is my setup wrong?
This appeared to simply be a case of waiting for the funnel reports to populate. I was under the impression that they would be populated in a matter of hours, but in this case it was 24hrs+.

I have a google analytics report in datastudio. One of the pages in the report is attempting to report on events. In GA when looking at the event in the e-commerce explorer tab I will see data for revenue, ecommerce conversion rate, per session value, but in my data studio report all values show as zero.
This is a straight google analytics data source (i.e. there is no data blending).
Screen shots below of the datastudio result and the analytics report for the data I am trying to match.
Every resource I can find says this should be possible and the fact that Google Analytics has the exact same data showing again makes me think this is possible.
Is there an issue with what I am doing or the metrics / dimensions I am calling? If not why isn't this working?
I have struggled with something like this too. I would guess that the problem is with the decimal places, which I couldn't get to work in GDS - zeroes all over the place, just like you are getting. When I multiplied the defined event value by 100, it all worked. Worth a try, I think.
I have a goal funnel built in Google Analytics and the first step is required. Since setting up the funnel, that first step page is receiving pageviews, but the funnel remains empty, no one has entered. It's only been about 18 hours since I updated the funnel.
Why would the first step be receiving pageviews (in a Site Content report), but the Funnel Visualization report is showing 0 entrances? Wouldn't the Funnel Visualization report show entrances even if no one actually successfully completed the funnel? Does the Funnel Visualization report update slower than a regular Site Content report?
I resolved the issue. The destination used regular expression as the matching criteria, but the first step of the funnel contained a "?" that was not escaped and therefore wasn't correctly capturing visitors in the first step of the funnel.
I pieced together the resolution in Google's documentation here in the Tips for Setting up Funnels section at the bottom: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1116091?hl=en
I have a Goal setup in Google Analytics as a Destination type goal. It was previously working, and just noticed that it stopped.
I thought it was completely broken after seeing the Funnel, but when I went to check under:
Conversions > Goals > Overview
I noticed that conversions are being tracked, so no sure what the problem is. Thanks!
The Funnel Visualization is not the best report to monitor conversions. Take a look at the specifics of this report: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2976313?hl=en
For example, when you mark a first step as required, the Funnel Visualization report only includes goal conversions that pass through that required step. Other sessions are just dropped from the report.
Is the Google Analytics - Goal Funnel Visualization report - an actual funnel? Meaning - does every step show only page hits from users who hit the previous page? i.e - if the first step is /signup and the last (the goal) is /pay, will i see only payed users who signed up on the selected dates, or will users who hit /pay and not /signup also show on the report?
The term you're looking for is closed funnel and the answer is No. The Goal Funnel Visualization report is not a closed funnel. It's possible for a user to enter the funnel at any step. This is represented with the red box below:
Data within the Multi-Cahnnel Funnel in Google Analytics are missing for today and yesterday. Data for the previous days are available. Is there a lag for the data to appear?
Data will be showed if there is at least one conversion and after up to 48 Hrs.If you would like to check whenever or not to expect data flowing check your current conversions in another report.
Also, make sure you have setup your funnels in a view without filters. If you apply filters incorrectly this could be one of the causes why you are not seeing the data
