Hey there! What you’re experiencing is completely normal. Google Analytics groups dimensions by unique values and then sums up the metrics. So, for example, if we have Report A with dimensions like
country
,region
, andcity
, let’s say with values likeSouth Africa
,Western Cape
, andCape Town
, respectively. Now, if there’s a Report B just with thecountry
dimension, it will not have separate rows for each city inSouth Africa
, but will just have one row forSouth Africa
.In your case, you’ve got values like
Lorem
,elit
, andNunc
that are shared between your two events. So, Google Analytics proceeds to put them all into one row. The good side of this is that by adding the metriceventCount
to your reports, you can still see the number of events. Your first report will show 1eventCount
per row, and your second report will show 2eventCount
for the same row. I hope this clears it up!
