to add to above, if you are using data feed this documentation explains how to calculate a visit Calculating Metrics

Visits
  1. Exclude all rows where exclude_hit > 0.
  2. Exclude all rows with hit_source = 5,7,8,9. 5, 8, and 9 are summary rows uploaded using data sources. 7 represents transaction ID data source uploads that should not be included in visit and visitor counts. See Hit Source Lookup.
  3. Combine post_visid_high, post_visid_low, visit_num, and visit_start_time_gmt*. Count unique number of combinations.

*In rare circumstances, internet irregularities, system irregularities, or the use of custom visitor IDs can result in duplicate visit_num values for the same visitor ID that are not the same visit. To avoid resulting issues, also include visit_start_time_gmt when counting visits.
