I am facing a problem in GA analytic. My own analytics tells the different thing about no. of user made sign up while GA tell something else.
This is the goal designation codmedialert.com/accounts/register/complete/
The funneling is like
codmedialert.com/accounts/register/
codmedialert.com/accounts/register/complete/
codmedialert.com/accounts/activate/complete/
Is it something wrong with the goal created or analytics is telling me wrong.
You can get immediate results by going to realtime->conversions.
For the rest of reports it takes few hours, you just have to set the date range to "today"
Impossible to know anything else by viewing only the urls you posted, please debug by using the real time view

For my recent project, i m trying to develop a brand new report for google analytics using the Sessions data over a period of time.
When I compare the numbers that I get from https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/ and check the report that we have created in analytics.google.com the numbers for sessions are off. They dont match exactly. They are off by like 1%. What might be the reason for this.
Can someone please help me here?
I can give more details if needed.
Thanks
Adding to the above , one more thing I noticed
This happens only When I add Segment filter to be specific. Without the segments the numbers for all users look good.
Had a call with Google Analytics support. They say that there isnt actual support for the Rest Api code and the Front End report from Google Analytics has built in Logic to filter out certain personal information like age related, sex, etc. which is not there in the Rest Api when it pulls in data.
So this is the reason why the numbers are off by 1% all the time.
Hope this helps
Thanks
My first post. I'm having big problems with a Goal Funnel in Google Analytics.
We've set up a funnel to track registration from our main company site to user registration which is handled on a third-party site (using a virtual pageview to track the user's 'click' to continue to the registration).
We're clearly doing something wrong however as the funnel seems to have a conversion rate of 100% for several steps. From the many tutorials and posts I've read it looks like there could be something wrong in our syntax and GA is seeing at least two pages as the same then backfilling the funnel to give this incorrect 100%.
Problem is - after many tweaks - we still can't seem to find quite what this error is. I'm also not entirely sure if we should be using 'begins with' or 'regular expression' for the funnel and if that the correct application of one of those would nip this data issue in the bud instantly.
Underneath is the configuration and then the data it's showing us in GA.
Thanks for any help on this!
p.s. Since we're using tag manager, I also wasn't sure if this could this be something in our firing rules but since the first conversion step in the funnel looks ok I guess that rules this out and points straight to the funnel??
p.p.s. Sorry, since I normally just read, I don't have permission to embed images.

The virtual pageview you have in the second image in step 2, is: virtual/registration. The virtual pageview that is firing off when I click on Register for online account is: /virtual/cas-registration#https://signin.mygovscot.org/home/?sp=register/CLK. So you'll want to update step 2 to: /virtual/cas-registration(.*) - I believe you can use regular expressions in goal funnel steps.
I've been playing with the new google analytics feature:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-25634
...and can happily report it definitely does work, albeit with one caveat, I can't get the real time dashboard to work. I know sometimes with new google analytics accounts it can take time for both the data to filter through and the real time to start to work, however, I have had my account for many weeks now and data is indeed filtering through but the real time dashboard stubbornly refuses to work.
My hunch is it's a timezone problem and the reason why it's not showing is because the timestamps on the analytics data from my sakai instance differs from my timezone set on the dashboard (therefore the data is sent but the real time dashboard does not display the data as it sees it being 6-7 hours in the future/past, for example) but I haven't played with this yet. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
p.s. +1 for universal analytics! https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-28052
EDIT: I discovered there's a timezone setting in the preferences of the sakai app (accessed using your browser), as well as a "server" time displayed in the footer, both are using the correct time, so perhaps it's not that??
I set this up anayltics to test on https://qa10.longsight.com and with the sample properties on that jira it didn't work. I changed the domain to just the domain and I did get realtime stats.
For example the following did NOT work
portal.google.analytics_domain=https://qa10.longsight.com
But this did
portal.google.analytics_domain=qa10.longsight.com
This is the result from viewing it in two browsers.
I am trying to create a work around for Google not allowing anyone to add to a global calendar, so I started doing research and found eventbot, which allows me to add a meeting based on an email that I send.
Here is what I imagine, but I don't know how to work it.
I have two different global calendars
Using a QR Code and that email address eventbot gave me, the code is scanned, the type in the needed subject line, and the event is created on my personal calendar.
Here comes where I am in need of advice:
Each event will have a phrase (Sisters/Brothers), if my calendar sees the word "Sisters", it will change the default calendar from my personal to the "Sisters" Calendar, or "Brothers" same thing.
It seems like a simple enough task, I am just not familiar enough with Google to know where to start, or to put my script in my google account. I also don't know if there is an API I could use.
Has anyone else thought of this? Any ideas on where to begin?
I found something that works better for me and is a better approch, but doesn't answer my original question:
http://librariansonthefly.blogspot.com/2013/12/creating-google-calendar-appointments.html
Having looked through the questions already on SO, I can't seem to find the answer on how to track a form that has multiple steps on one page. I saw an example that Google gives but could not really understand the way they were presenting it. What we have is a one page order form and need to track the users that come from a website and end up ordering. the whole ordering process is done with one file so I don't know how to track whether or not someone has actually completed the order. Any help would be great, even directing me to better examples than what Google has shown to me.
Thank you
Rob
Just call the JS function _gaq.push([trackPageview,'/form/stepXX']); each time the process reaches a new step.
You can pass any text string you want as a parameter.
Then you can configure a Goal and a funnel in GA with all the major steps of process
You can also track Events in case of errors for example.
(this uses the GA Async syntax)
