Accessing Event value associated with a particular event instance.

[shivu]

I am tracking some events in my website and each event has some value
associated with it. The ga:eventValue would I assume give me the
average eventValue of all the events I am intrested in. Is there any
way I can get the eventValue assocaited with a particular instance of
an event. Or is there anyway to get all the eventValue instead of just
the average?

Thanks

As far as I remember the ga:eventValue metric is the sum of the values. To get the metric you'd have to divide that by the ga:totalEvents.

avg Event Value = ga:eventValue/ga:totalEvents

You can't break event by session on Google Analytics as is. The issue is the same with any other metric in GA. To break down by session you'd need a dimension to uniquely identify that session. You could set a unique id in event label to identify each session.

What I was looking at was associating some kind of timing info to the events. Right now when I query for events I just get a dump of all events and I can't figure out which event was fired first.

So I thought of associating a time in someway to particular event instance so that I can sort based on these. But even if I get all the events for a particular session, I will still need individual eventValues to figure out what events came first.

Is there any other way to do what I am looking for?

Thanks

Yes, Eduardo is right,

GA reports on aggregate metrics, not on instance data. If you want to
measure the total times a particular event was fired in a sequence,
you could set one of the event properties or a custom variable as
"first". but even then you would get total times the sequence
happened.

The data I want is more like if I have a Button A and a button B and both of them were clicked I want to know which one of them was clicked first. So if the user clicks on Button A and then Button B then I want some kind of timing information to say Button A was clicked first.

You could have client-side code to remember the sequence and then send
an event string containing the sequence.
