Items in Cart from Previous Visit

[AlanSa1]

I want to count the number of visits to our site that begin with items already in cart from a previous visit. The logic would be something like:

count(visits) IF[visitor(cart additions>cart removals) AND visitor(orders=0)]

I have all of the necessary metrics but I can't get the logic to work in either segments or a calculated metric.

Hi, 

So I am thinking this could be simplified... Do you track the number of items in the cart on every page?

If so, why not simply make a segment like:

HIT [

    Hit Depth equals 1

    AND

   Items in Cart is greater than or equal to 1

]

Or maybe:

 HIT [

    Hit Depth equals 1

    AND

   Items in Cart equals true

]

OR

 HIT [

    Hit Depth equals 1

    AND

   Items in Cart exists

]

Basically Hit Depth is a per visit metric that tracks increments the hit depth in the visit.... so a Hit Depth of 1 would be the first tracking call in a visit, and if you have info about what is in the cart, whether it be a count of items, a simple "true or false" if items exists, or maybe something that tracks some information about the cart having content that you can check if it exists....

Then you can just pair this segment with your Visits metric, and there you have the number of visits that started the visit with items in their cart.
