5. Skip the Select View Columns and Data Filter.

Why can I skip the fifth step?

If you’re looking for a quick overview of your data without diving into specific details, skipping the “Select View Columns” and “Data Filter” steps can save you time.

6. Select the Create a View from the dropdown menu.

7. Provide a title and description for your chart.

8. Drag the columns you want from the available list and drop them:

  • Under the “Count” column to display them as rows.
  • Beside the “Count” column to display them as columns.

Remember: The hierarchy of the columns you drag and drop will affect how the data is grouped and displayed.

For example:

If you drag Event under Goal, the data will be grouped by Goal.

Within each Goal, you will see the count of different Events.

If you drag Goal under Event, the data will be grouped by Event.

You might see the same Goal repeated across different Events.

9. Optional: Customize your Data Display.

How can I customize my Data Display?

You can do this by selecting different aggregation functions for your columns from the Count dropdown menu.

For Example: If you add the “User UID” column, you can change the aggregation from “Count” to “Count Unique Values” to see the number of unique users.

What are the available Data Display options?
