Here is my podcast's feed:
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/eci0cg9lo08bfp5uuuci7rk33k%40group.calendar.google.com/public/full?futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending
As you can see, Episode 85 is being listed twice, but both links point to the 1 Episode 85 entry in the calendar.
Further down the feed, it happens again for Episode 92 -- lists it as 2 separate entries, when clicking on either link takes you to Episode 92.
Google Calendar feed bug? Why? Any other way to render this list without these issues?
In the end it looks like there's an issue with using recurring events and Google Calendar. By removing recurring events, the entries show up as expected in the feed.

I have just started using the new Google Analytics 4 and find so many features from the previous versions of Google Analytics are missing. One of the main features that I can see in GA4 that looks promising is the automatically included event tracking.
The issue I am having though is when I then try to drill down into the 'click' data to view the link URLs that have been clicked there is only the 'events in the last 30 minutes' and no way of viewing the data from the last week for example.
Am I just completely missing something? Does the data have to be accessed in a different way (data studio perhaps)? or is it only possible to view the previous 30 minutes of data before its gone forever?
You have to use the new reports (not only the real time):

I'm working on FullCalendar with several different resources that I'm displaying with different colors, which sometimes share events. I'm using the resourceIds field on events and on the day and timeline views, this is working great as shown in the picture below.
On the month and week views, it just puts them in the calendar once with the first resource's color. Is there a way to make it split it into 2 events so it can be shown that both resources are busy on the month and week views?
Update 1
I did find that you can add the groupByDateAndResource or groupByResource flags to the config, but I'm still not loving that, as it ends up duplicating the calendar. This is doable with 1 or 2 resources, but if I had 5, this would get ridiculous.
I need to set up a new goal in Google Analytics which will be executed when 1 unique visitor views 2 different articles.
For example, I have a thousands of different articles:
/page/article_water.html
/page/article_google_analytics.html
....
....
...
/page/article_another_one.html
So, a Google Analytics URL-pattern of this page will looks like this:
./page/article_..html
The thing is, that I need to catch up 2 views of different articles with similar URL.
Have no idea how to do that, Google didn't help me.
Alexander, what you cou do is to check whether the articles were seen on your backend and if so, send an event to Google Analytics that will trigger the goal completion (event-based goal).
Or try setting up two different goals and then create a segment that will filter those users/visitors. Could work as well.
We have a Google Analytics account set up to track downloads on certain files. When you create a report with, for example, Event Label (user) as the primary field, and Event Action (file name) as the secondary field, GA will say that the number of unique events is 168. When you add up the numbers in the unique events column, however, they add up to 322. Exporting the table as a CSV file and viewing it in Excel will also give you 322.
I should also add that there are 270 rows in the table, so for there to be 168 unique events, that would mean some user/file combinations would have 0 unique events, which doesn't make any sense.
Can anybody shed some light on why this is happening?
There is a lot of confusion with Unique Events metric. Instead of counting a number of times an event with unique combination of category/action/label happened, GA was counting unique combination of every dimension included in the report!
Finally that metric is deprecated now and renamed to Unique Events (legacy).
Instead we get a real Unique Events (new) metric which behave like expected.
More explanation in my blog post
http://www.internetrix.com.au/blog/google-analytics-unique-events-are-dead-long-live-unique-events/
In all Google Analytics custom reports, the Unique Events field actually reports the number of Visits (or sometimes a slightly higher number).
Built-in Google Analytics reports will show you the correct number of Unique Events.
It's a bug, plain and simple. I reported it to Google back in August, but it's still broken.
The number in the Google Analytics standard reports can be explained...but as Aaron pointed out, it sure looks broken. I wrote an article explaining it all:

I'm having an issue with Unique Events and Total events. I don't really understand why unique events are greater than total events (image attached: https://analytics-a-googleproductforums-com.googlegroups.com/attach/584c3c65bd24cfec/Screenshot%20at%202013-05-14%2017:00:40.png?gda=9qkpgUYAAADqfLbDOUx1KZ9vP-6pB8mH0QevsNJBCwpb2zqmxh9R_FqJw8mf6kYUxitGhb4bDE5x40jamwa1UURqDcgHarKEE-Ea7GxYMt0t6nY0uV5FIQ&view=1&part=4).
Someone can explain how this is posible?

Found the thing: you will see that "Unique Events" are great than "Total Events" when you look at an event category or action, put "Event Label" as a secondary dimension and the event has been triggered some times with no label input. Google Analytics hasn't the option "(not set)" for this particular dimension, so it just doesn't show you those events in the Total Events Count, but still counts as "Unique Events" all the users that executed this particular event category / action.
I am seeing this same issue in my the first view of my Custom Report as well. I don't know WHY it is showing more, but there seems to be a more accurate Custom Report drilldown for you to use. In my reports, one page shows in my Page drilldown with 30 total events but 62 Unique Events. However, when I click into the next dimension drilldown view, in other words click to narrow in on just one page, it shows that same page with 30 total events and only 29 unique events. That seems more accurate.
My dimensions drilldowns for this custom report are "Page" and then "Event Label"
Hope this helps!
I think Google Analytics is simply buggy.
They have to work on event reporting a bit more.
We are tracking events and e-commerce data to our own database, and we realised that both Google Analitics and Universal Analitics misses some events and e-commerce data.
We are trying to find the reason for this, but no luck yet.
If you have a segment applied it's probably sampling. You can confirm or deny sampling is the cause by seeing if there is a yellow background note above the graph but below the date selection on the report page. There is also a grid of filled in and not filled in circles next to the new scholar cap (also below the date selection) sometimes.
Unique events are calculated by session, while total events are determined by the main dimension.
In the example report below, I wanted to look at how many events occurred on each page. The dimension drilldown is Page, with Total Events and Unique Events as metrics.
Users can visit a page, but not send an event by that page ( 0 total events ). However, if their session includes an event, then unique events will be 1 or more.
Custom reports allow data combinations that may not be clear (not sure if someone already posted this point or if I saw it in another thread). Basically, my report should not include Unique Events to prevent this problem from happening, though this was probably the wrong way to go about this altogether.

Google has deprecated (renamed) Unique Events metric as it was seriously confusing. We are expecting to see a number of times event with unique combination of category / action and label happened per other dimensions in report. Instead GA calculated a unique combination of every dimension in the report!
Now, this metric is deprecated and renamed to legacy.
New one: Unique Events is giving expected results.
I written about why total events are higher than in my blog as too many questions.
Total Events are calculated as the total number of interactions with a tracked web page object. On the other hand, where a single user session (or visit) has one or more events, this is calculated as a single Visit w/Event, or Unique Event in the reports. For example, if one user clicks the same button on a video 5 times, the total number of events associated with the video is 5, and the number of unique events is 1.
