TIme Spent on Page

[michael_won]

I am trying to mimic the standard 'Time Spent' metric within a pages report with a calculated metric and am having difficulty.  I have had several calls with client care and they do not seem to be able to help me.

They have told me to use the following formula '(Total Seconds Spent / (Visits - Single Access)/60'.  This formula comes no where close to what is presented in the report.

Any ideas? 

Thanks for help.

Hi Michael,

There is additional Adobe data logic that goes into the Time Spent metric, which to my understanding makes it impossible to calculate w/ other standard metrics

A good review of the time spent metric can be found on the help site:
