Data Warehouse - Adobe Analytics Discrepancy

[dannye52454320]

Howdy,

Noticing huge discrepancies in numbers from Data Warehouse vs. Workspace/AdHoc Analysis.
Both Pageviews and Total Seconds Spent are very in line with each other, but Visitors and Unique Visitors are significantly over-represented in Warehouse.

I'm breaking out by Date > New Repeat (sprop) > First Touch Channel > Mobile Device Type > PageName (sprop) : METRICS

Is the issue a result of the dimensions I'm breaking out by?

Help!

Dear Danny,

Data warehouse will not de-duplicate the Visits and Visitors if you are about to calculate it.

Consider the below example:

A visitor (new) come to our site via Search and accessed 3 pages A, B and C.

Same visitor visited our site next day (So, now it is repeat) via Direct and accessed B (Twice) and C.

Below the table in Data Warehouse will look like:

As per Workspace/AdHoc Analysis, For New there are 3 page views, 1 Visit and 1 Unique Visitor for New. But if we add the visits in Data Warehouse it will give you 3 page views, 3 Visits and 3 Unique Visitors.

I.e. Metrics which involves persistence or expiration will be de-duplicated in Data Warehouse but not in Workspace/AdHoc Analysis and thus the difference.

Thank You

Arun

Pratheep, is there anything you can do so that the figures in data warehouse match workspace?
