In the main report interface of Google Analytics under Goals > Overview it has a display of the goal name and the amount of completions for each goal.
What I want to do is replicate this in a custom report but I am having issues on how accomplish this. I have Goal Completions as a metric but it forces you to have a Dimension Drilldown and I can't see anything called Goal Name. Is there any way to replicate this very basic report?
The dimension set in custom reports will always give a drill down, thus by using something broad like year, you can see all your data in one row. If I wanted to use custom reports to show a overview of goals, I would do this...
Custom Report Setup
Custom Report
Goal Name would appear on metrics and google custom reports only show metrics to dimensions in report.
You can use any of below option for Dimensions
then you can select any of conversation rate of your goal from below metrics

I have our E-commerce Conversion Rate all set up and looking good in GA. I want to view the conversion rate of people who have viewed a specific page and add this information to a Datastudio report...
I have the metric in Datastudio as "E-commerce Conversion Rate" everything looks good and the data matches GA, however, I tried filtering based on the dimension "page" contains "/pageurl" but I don't get a valid result... What am I doing wrong?
Like I said I just want to see the conversion rate of users who have visited a certain page during their journey...
Thanks in advance!
I believe your issue is that the e-commerce conversion rate is not a pageview-level metric. So, when you try to add on a filter to contain users that went to a certain page, it won't work correctly.
It's like if you try to go into the All pages report in GA, you'll notice there is only a page value metric but no conversion rate.
You have two options depending on the report you are trying to make. You can change the filter to be landing page rather than just page or you can create a custom segment in GA that is a session containing a view of the particular page you are looking for.
I have a nice dashboard view with charts i wanted in google analytics. some of them are "sessions by traffic sources" and "sessions by device category".
All i want is to bring these charts into one page in google data studio, but i cant find anything about sessions or traffic sources under dimensions or metrics.They use the same database so why cant i find the same data in both software?
I get so many "Available fields" but they're all irrelevant to what I want to display
You're trying to edit your fields at too basic a level. The list of fields you're seeing when you add Google Analytics as a data source is ALL GA dimensions and metrics. Just click to add it as a data source, you do not want to try editing or choosing your dimensions and metrics at this point. Once you've connected the data source, you have all GA dimensions and metrics available to you, and you can just pick out what you want each table or chart to use from them.
I'm setting up Google Analytics for a website where a user can find an event to attend (concerts, plays, etc.). The results can be filtered by 5 different parameters.
So, unfiltered results would look like: example.com/event-finder/
And filtered results showing concerts in January or February would look like: example.com/event-finder?type=concert&month=jan,feb
I'm struggling to figure out the best way to use the query parameters in Google Analytics to analyze filtering behavior.
Example questions I'd want to be able to pull answers for:
What percentage of results were filtered by type?
What percentage of results were also sorted by month?
What is the most common type filtered by?
I have full access to both Google Analytics and Tag Manager but I suspect I shouldn't do this with events or custom dimensions and that there's got to be a way to use the query parameters to do this in a clean way.
I've tried to use a new view and site search to group the types of filters. Seems like it could work, but seems hacky and limited.
I've considered pushing those values into custom dimensions, but that too seems like overkill.
I've considered pulling content reports into Google Sheets and sorting through things there, but I'm 1) not entirely sure how I'd do that and 2) suspect there may be an easier approach.
Let me know if you have any questions or need more clarification. Thanks!
Have you tried to use "category parameters" when configuring site search (admin -> view settings)? You could set the "type" as a category parameter. You can also enter multiple parameters in there.

In Google analytics how can i get a metric to put "number of active users on website at any one time". I want to put it against past date periods.
I.E I was scrolling through the metrics, trying to add a widget to my dashboard but, I can't find this metric!
It looks like it's possible because google analytics uses it on their standard report, real-time, "current active visitors on website"
How can I achieve this?
Simply, you can't out of the box. There are some limitations in real-time reports and the ways GA counts unique visitors.
However, if you do not need a detailed analysis, this custom report might do the work (just import it for your Analytics Profile/View and click Customization tab). It basically shows the generic numbers (you can change them to fit your needs) according to hour of a day.
Add any secondary metrics to find out how numbers change in days/weekends etc. Or you can slice the data with segments and see if some traffic is more active in the morning etc.
Hope hits helps.
PS: Beware of data sampling...
I was able to setup Google Analytics to send custom variables that I can track.
I'd like to generate a report with UserId / Value and Display all of the pages
that user viewed. (Similar to reports I have seen with IP address on one column,
and viewed pages on the other)
Custom Var 1 : label:'userId' value:'17' scope:'1' (from Chrome Analytics tool)
Google Analytics reporting is pretty complex, so I'm hoping I can get some suggestions on how to create such a report.
i'm battling through google analytics aswell it can be really useful but to get exactly what you want can take some time. This isn't an answer as much as its a list of a few links that i have used along the way and hope they help

In here if you put ga:source ga:referralPath ga:customVarName(n)

Create google analytics profile by filtering using a custom variable
i'll have to look into this myself when i m using custom variables but it look like the advanced segment section may be the way to go.
And you ve probably already seen this but its quite a nice article on custom variables
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingCustomVariables
Let us know hwo you get on...
I think you're going to want to create an advanced segment including your custom variable. This should narrow the data to only that which includes the variable. You can then look at whatever reports you want within that segment.
Using regular expressions should let you better tune the scope of the segment.
You can do this easily in the Megalytic reporting tool. There are widgets that let you create reports which segment data by custom variable. For example, Traffic by Custom Variable, Conversions by Custom Variable. Disclaimer: I am a founder of Megalytic.
