Adobe Analytics

When I export a .cvs from Adobe Analytics, the Average Time On Site columns have a strange number in those cells instead of an actual time reference from the online project. Should I be able to export actual time references for Average Time On Site? Is there a reason why this is happening? Is there a way to translate the strange exported numbers into a valid time format? So far, my only work-around is to delete these numbers and manually type them in from looking at the Adobe Analytics project (because also I cannot copy and paste figures from Adobe Analytics either). I also took screenshots of each section and used Apple Photos or Preview to copy the text for each column I needed to add the figures for.  There has to be a better way. I searched and found nothing online about this. I searched the forum here and found nothing. I'm really hoping that I'm just missing something here cause my eyes are bleeding from doing this last night. 

I want to see the number of custom link instances (clicks) on a set of newly implemented CTAs on a page, but if the same person has clicked a link 100 times, I still only want it to be counted as one click. Is there a way to do this? I have a set of custom links: {CTA1, CTA2, CTA3}, and two metrics: Unique visitors, and Custom link instances. From my knowledge, you cannot see the intersection between two metrics, but at the same time, this seems like pertinent information to know from the data coming in.. so I have a feeling there is something obvious I am overlooking. Will simply looking at the unique visitors to the set of custom links give me what I am after? Any help is very much appreciated.

Hello,  Does anyone know the best way to build a segment, where I can compare users who visit 2 pages of PLP products vs. 1 page?

Hi Team, I was reviewing analytics report and found few URL's (though they are having just few clicks) which are not present on our site and not in sitemap but still they were tracked in analytics.I tried to reach them (content path from tracked URL) in content and site but I didn't get any entry related to them.  Could someone help on this why this happing and what will be root cause for this ?  Thanks

Hello,I have a few questions about the post_event_list field from the Adobe Data Feed and the event mapping file included.In the post_event_list, I am seeing values such as this: "24,010,010,710,810,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000"Why are there multiple instances of '000'?In the event mapping file that comes with the data feed, there is no event 24. How/where can I find info on what event 24 is? Same for 810 and 900.There are Custom Events from IDs 20100 - 20999. How can I find which Custom Events these are mapped to? They are only named Custom Event 101 - 1000, which does not align with what we see in our Adobe Analytics reporting suite. Thanks in advance.

I have registered my team up for the Adobe Analytics challenge, although when inviting a Faculty Mentor and other team members, Adobe will not send an invite email to anyone I invite. Why is this? Is the "invite" button on the teams homepage not working? Is the GET/ POST requests not setup correctly on the backend? 

Hi everyone, I am registering for adobe analytics challenge, I am not able to complete the registration. Resume  uploading is taking very long time, it is not getting uploaded and no error message is popping up. Have tried uploading many time but not working.

Adobe can list certain event counted as duplicate. (duplicate_events)Data column reference | Adobe AnalyticsBut how?Checking with serialization number like event1:unique_idor with event_list value (which contains othere events?)or information in cookies? We gave up event serialization because of the 20 bytes limit.And instead of that we started to serialize using duplicate_events field.So we would like to know how they can detect certain event as duplicate.Thanks

Hi Community, I hope you are well.I have a number of legacy classifications I want to delete. I know I can delete the classifications via the report suites section of the Admin console. My question is: Is it better to clear the classification values (i.e. using ~empty~) before deleting the classification itself?I'm not sure if deleting the classification automatically clears all of the values or if it's more like disabling a variable, where the data will still be there is if I re-add a classification to the variable in the future.Any information would be really helpful.

 I used the "Compare time periods" option to generate a % change in Avg. Time On Site. However, when I calculated it online, the % change was different.  For example, In the screenshot from the "External Campaigns Traffic" section, the % change for 00:24:54 and 00:49:35 Avg. time on site is showing as "+14,128.63%" which was a strange percentage to me. When I ran a calculation online it showed a % change of +90.13%. I had removed a few rows at the very bottom of that chart that were displaying "0"s for visits. Could this have affected the calculation? I ended up checking the % change for ever section and for every section my calculation was different than what was calculated in Adobe Analytics.  Is there a better metric I could be using?

I've been using flow diagram but I'm having trouble to differentiate the different journeys and which are the most common paths. 

Is this happening with anyone else?If we breakdown conversion by day, week, etc., no values show in workspace. We can copy the cells and paste them and see the values, but we can't see them in workspace. It's the only metric, so far, that has this issue.  

I tried creating a segment using entry page on a visit level, but it's not loading any data.

For adobe analytics, does the flow chart record a user journey where they browse through the site by inputting different URLs instead of clicking on a link on the page. Ex: going from reddit.com/r/AskReddit to to the homepage by inputting reddit.com instead of clicking the home page logo.

I'm looking for a data dictionary for all the Data Warehouse OOTB breakdowns and metrics. Is there documentation that has definitions for all the OOTB breakdowns and metrics? 

Hi, I am trying to determine the average number of PVs a visitor makes on my site BEFORE invoking the internal search. Does anyone have experience in answering this question using Analytics? 

Is there a way to find out what a campaign start date is in Adobe Analytics? Perhaps a segment to note the date range for a particular campaign? This is to help me validate if 0 results are because there was no action taken on an active link or if it means the link was not yet live when I'm comparing to previous time periods. 

Hello! I'm looking to track how many visitors came or visited a specific previous page previous to landing on a specific page, regardless of how many other pages they visited in between? Is it possible to track that in workspace?  Example of one possible scenario:Page 1 -- entry pagePage 2Page 3Page 4Page 5Page 6 -- completion page I'm looking for the number of people who visited page 6, also visited page 3 regardless of any other pages they visited before page 3 or after page 3.  Thank you for your help! 

Hello Members,My organization is running a Paid Campaign in FB and FB is sending us monthly reports on the performance. Actually, the campaign is about purchase. From FB ads, people are landing on our page and buy products from there.We are capturing data under Adobe Analytics.Now when we are comparing the data (FB and Adobe) – there is a huge gap. FB data is much higher than Adobe Data.I came to know about a fact (not sure whether it is true or not) that if visitors are using the FB app, it will likely come through as dark social or "Typed/bookmarked" as resource. My questions are:Is the statement above true?If true; can it be a possible reason of data discrepancy between FB and Adobe?If the answer to 2nd question is “YES” – is there any way to overcome that?If the answers of first 3 questions are negative; any suggestions about how we should move ahead with the analysis of this data discrepancy?I know asking too many questions and maybe irrelevant  as well, but as a newbie

We currently track AppMeasurement code version from our website visitors; e.g. 2.22.0, 2.23.0, etc. Is it good practice to collect this data and if so, what is it useful for? I'm considering stopping them from being collected. Please advise.

Is there an object or attribute on a visitor's browser that populates that value sent to the dimension 'Visit Number'? How is the value for this populated and sent to Adobe? 

Hi All, I know that this question has been asked previously, 6 months ago or so, but wanted to check if anyone had managed to integrate Analytics with a React Native project in the Expo environment? Adobe don't seem to support this currently, so it would be good if they looked at putting it on the Roadmap, but does anyone know anything specifically about why it seems to be so difficult and not something that is supported currently, and any ways around this to get a React Native app working with Adobe Analytics?  

Hi Team, I have added the classification data, imported manually and it is uploaded successfully too. But in reports data is coming as unspecified. So, please let me know what can be the reasons. 

Hi,the column sum function isn't behavin like I expected.. at all and hopefully someone has an explanation or even a solution for me. Following case:I have an page area name in on eVarThe product name in another one populate by prod syntax If I want to know how much products were looked at and create a break-down with> Page Area>> Product Name With Prod Views as metric each product shows the number of its own views and the total is lower because it counts unique  So it may look like> My Products  70 000>> Prod A 50 000>> Prod B 20 000>> Prod C 20 000>> Prod D 10 000 If I want a total sum of all the prod views in "My Products" (100 000) I assumed column sum now would do the trick because it sums up all the metic of a dimension item. (Reference basic functions | Adobe Analytics)When I create a calc metric with "COLUMN SUM (Product Views)" the result would be something like 90 000 for the example above. If I dowload al
