Each dimension and metric has a scope: user-level, session-level, or hit-level. In most cases, it only makes sense to combine dimensions and metrics that share the same scope. For example,\u00a0Sessions\u00a0is a session-based metric so it can only be used with session-level dimensions like\u00a0Source\u00a0or\u00a0City. It would not be logical to combine\u00a0Sessions\u00a0with a hit-level dimension like\u00a0Page.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more here:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1033861?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/1033861?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3ZGi7hDgsFo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can combine a metric X with a dimension Y in Google Analytics &nbsp; &nbsp; A) if X and Y have the same scope B) as long as sampling is not required C) if X and Y are in the same channel grouping D) if X and Y have been precalculated together in an aggregate [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1456","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-google-analytics-certification","7":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
