Is it possible to get Unique downloads?

[mjdavid007]

Hi everyone! My boss asked whether it was possible to get total downloads and total unique downloads. This means that if a Visitor downloads 3 times the same file, it would only count as 1.

I've tried many ways but they all lead to a manual work in the end.

Thanks a lot

Hello,

You can create a segment with download event = 1 on hit basis

as

and use this segment with Unique Visitor as metrics

It will give you unique count.

similar approach to @rohit_neema, just using standard metrics and dimensions

Agree with @bjoern__koth,  Simply use Download Link dimension with metrics.

Same, this looks like the easiest solution with out of the box metrics and dimensions.

Thank you guys, it seems that sometimes we tend to look for a very rambling answer when it's much easier indeed. Again, thanks a lot

Lol, yeah, you aren't alone in that! Sometimes I take a look back and say "why did I make that so complicated?"
