Is there any way to merge data collected using 2 different Tracking IDs of Google Analytics?
Using the Google Analytics API you can extract the data you wish from both properties into your own system. Say a database I recommend adding the property id to the tables storing the data so that you will be able to differentiate between the data.
There is nothing out of the box that will do this for you with the exception of big Query. Users with a Google analytics 360 account can extract there data to big query. However I have not tried this I am not sure even that will allow you to analyze data over multiple views.
While #DalmTo is correct that there's no way to do what you ask for regular Google Analytics accounts, it's probably worth mentioning that you can do this if you're a Google Analytics 360 customer.
The feature is called Roll-up Reporting, and this article explains how it works:

I found this add-on for Google Sheets that can help you with that, it combines the metrics from several Google Analytics properties into one Google Sheet, I hope this helps!

I'm New when it comes to google analytics and I have an Apps that use google analytics, but I got some question, Can we use google analytics to track paid and free user separately? If it can where I can find it in google analytics? I'm quite confused with a lot of information in there to use it in data studio
some metrics that I used right now from Google Analytics:
users -> to get all unique user that come to my apps
You can distinguish whether sessions that came or not from paid campaigns, but a user can have more than one session and each session could have been started by different channels, for example from a pay channel and another from an organic channel, but the user is always the same. So, with basic tracking, I'd talk about sessions and not users.
Yes, you can track such details, but you need to let Google Analytics know, who do you consider to be a free or a paid customer, as this is not a standard dimension. This can be achieved with Custom Dimensions.
Key steps involve:
Creating the custom dimension in Google Analytics administration. This is a property level setting. Based on your description, this will likely be a user level dimension.
You need to adjust your tracking code (or Google Tag Manager settings) to include the customers' level among the data, which is sent to Google Analytics. You need to refer the proper dimension ID, which you get during the creation of it.
You need to apply the given custom dimension to your reports. This can be done by using a secondary dimension within the standard reports, or by creating a Custom report. It is also possible by creating a segment of different users, and to apply this segment to various reports.

I have a website, iOS and Android apps. For the website I use Google Analytics and for the apps I use Firebase. Currently I have to switch between Analytics and Firebase but I was wondering if there was a way to create a combined view.
To start with, I would like something simple like the total number of active users at the moment across all 3 platforms. Is this possible at all?
Longer term it would be great if sales data between the 3 could also be combined.
Is there a way to create something like a Google sheet that pulls this data in real time?
I too wish for a combined view. My research suggests we cobble together our own by exporting event data from GA and Firebase Analytics into Google BigQuery and construct our own views in there. But then you don’t get the nice dashboards and other data that they infer, just table data on the events tracked.
My need is to combine the same type of data (Behaviour/Content drilldown) from two different subdomains on my site. (For instance Unique page views, etc.) The main site is https://www.nacka.se and I need two combine to subdomains like https://www.nacka.se/xxxxxx and https://www.nacka.se/yyyyy so the data can be seen in the same report, and then exported to .pdf.
But I simply cannot find out how to do this. I guess that this must be done through "custom reports". I have been informed that it should be possible in some way through using "the common denominator" in the URL (www.nacka.se), but how?
Most thankful for any advice.
FYI what you're referring to is called a subfolder, a subdomain would be something like https://somethingelse.nacka.se/
To add to DalmTo's answer:
If different properties/tracking IDs (UA-XXXXXXX-X) were used
Google Data Studio: that's probably the easiest way to create reports from multiple properties. Just create 1 data source for each property and that's it.
Google Sheets with GA API add-on: if you prefer working with spreadsheets.
GA 360 (formerly GA Premium): it has a roll-up feature for cross-property reporting, but you have to pay several $K a months for 360
If you used the same property/tracking ID
Google Analytics reporting UI: go to Reports -> Behavior -> Site Content - Content Drilldown and you'll see a breakdown of top-level folders
Google Analytics API: you can still use Data Studio or Google Sheets options listed above or build your own solution
For all above options, the GA dimension you're looking for is called ga:pagePathLevel1 in the API, and Page path level 1 in the in the reporting interface.
Assuming that the data is being insert into different properties on Google analytics website then the simple answer is you cant. There is no way to analyse data between websites in the Google Analytics website.
You could attempt to use the Google Analytics API to extract some data out for each of the websites and analyze this data locally although I would personally question how useful any results you would get for comparing different websites would be.
I want to pay my writers based on unique page views. Right now I am getting my data from Google Analytics. The frustrating thing is that the numbers given by Google Analytics are from sampling.
So is there a Analytics Service to get unique page views that does not sample its data?
Or as anyone try doing something similar to what I am trying to accomplish, what would you recommend I do?
I use Unsampler
Extract unsampled data from a Google Analytics Standard profile. Avoid sampling and get at your real data.
Try to use PIWIK - it is server side analytics system, but you will must save all data on your server - you need separate mysql data base.
This is more a question of if this is the right way to achieve the desired solution.
We are building an eCommerce store like Shopify. We want to display report/data to our users for their stores.
Using GA can we do this. We was thinking of using one account. Adding the tracking api. Posting the store sales using the eCommerce plugin.
Then pulling the data back into our control panel, show graphs etc.
Is this a workable solution.
What would the issues be.
Best way to segment for each store so that we don't have data bleed (we may have thousands of stores - coincidentally they would have a domain like mystore.yourstore.com)
Any advice or better ways of us doing this without re-inventing the wheel.
Thanks
You can segment data with a custom Google Analytics variable or by setting the subdomain, e.g.:
pageTracker._setDomainName("subdomain.yoursite.com");
I think your approach is viable, but the notable challenge is that you have build out custom code to pull all of the data from Google Analytics into your application. I don't know of many off the shelf products that would offer this type of segmentation for analytics without requiring you to manage and create users for every subdomain/store.
The only thing I can think of is building out automated reports in Google Analytics (or similarly in Omniture) and have them sent to your store owners. But unfortunately those would be static reports such as PDFs.
