I am trying to create a custom view that shows only certain metrics, like Page Views, Unique Page Views but excludes other metrics like Bounces. I have looked in the custom reports and under Admin with no success. Is this possible, and if so how do I achieve this custom view?
Can you elaborate on what problems you are facing? In Custom reports, are you remembering to select associated dimensions as well? I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pull a flat report with pages (dimension), and pageviews and unique pageviews as metrics.
If you are looking just for a custom view, then I don't believe that would be possible. Perhaps a close approximation would be a custom dashboard:

I'm trying to create a custom report where I can track page views for certain URLs on my website, but struggle to include more than 1 URL. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
This is easily doable with a custom report and segments in GA:
You can do the following:
Click on Customization
Click on Custom Reports
Choose Landing Page and any metrics you need
Click Save
Once you've done this, you can set up a segment with conditions:
You can add the names of whichever landing pages you need inside the condition text box.
I'm just getting to grips with Google Analytics for a site I'm doing some content management for, and want to know how to look at the traffic for pages created recently/in specific timeframes.
Anyone got any ideas?
You would need to log the page creation date as a custom dimension. Then you'd need to select your timeframe, and filter by your custom dimension (via regex, since you cannot apply the date filter to a custom dimension).
If the page does not have any hits in the selected timeframe it will not show up at all. And in any case you will see only metrics from the hits in the selected timeframe, even if the page has been created before that.
So this is sort of possible, but rather more complicated than one would assume.
For a vast majority of my reports in AA, the list of available metrics does not include product views. I would really like to be able to see product views aggregated to be shown broken down by things like marketing channel, etc., but right now I can only add it as a metric to the products report.
Is the only way to accomplish this to use a custom event that is basically a mirror of the prodView event and set it to increment on each product view? I would prefer to use the out of the box prodView event, obviously.
Any and all input would be helpful!
I have a blogspot website. In Blogspot, you can select different themes to view a page (i.e classic, mosaic, flipcard etc.).
In Google Analytics, in All Pages report, all of them are shown separately.
/?view=flipcard
/?view=classic
/?view=mosaic
/?view=magazine
/?view=sidebar
/?view=snapshot
/?view=timeslide
I want to see them as my home page in my reports.
The same thing happens with the sub-pages as well. For example, this is an article in my blog, but I see two different entries in my reports.
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=snapshot
/2014/05/deneme.html?view=mosaic
I want to see all these articles as /2014/05/deneme.html in my reports.
Do I need to create different filters for each and every article in my blog?
What is going to happen if I add new articles, do I need to add the filters right after publishing my article to prevent this happening for my future articles?
Can you help me with the advanced filter setup in Analytics?
Thanks.
Nope, no need to add different filters, just add View to the Exclude Query Parameter option under View > View Settings.
We've accidentally placed the same Google Analytics tracking code on two different domains.
www.y.com
www.x.com
We've rectified the issue now but retrospectively, is there any way to filter that data going to the specific domain name www.x.com for example?
Note: this is not a duplicate of Google Analytics: Track two domains as one
You could add a filter to the view (profile) in question. That will remove the data that you don't want. Another option if you don't want to loose the data in the view would be to create a custom segment that you could use when ever you want to split the data out.
Update from Google+
You can search with regex
^/app/
in the small search bar (custom segment) in your page reports (e.g. Behavior -> Site Content -> All Pages), after which you can look at the aggregate metrics for all pages which start with /app/ (i.e. all the pages with different parameters).
If all the /app/.* have the same page title, you can look at the Behavior > Overview report, but choose Page Title as the dimension.
