Hi Nick

i have tried all the common calculations but i am getting different
results.

goal1Starts=36;
goal1Completions=26;
goal1Value=130.0;
Visits=521.

my actual goal conversion rate is 7.68 % and as per common
calculations i get these values.

1. ga:goal1Starts - ga:goal1Completions =(36-26)=10

2. (ga:goal1Starts - ga:goal1Completions)/ga:goal1Starts= (36-10)/
36=0.28

3. ga:goal1Completions/ga:visits=(26/521)=0.049

4. ga:goal1Completions/ga:goal1Starts=(26/36)=0.72

m I doing something WRONG or is there other calculation than this.
please help me....

Hi,

Goal conversion is: ga:goalXCompletions/ga:visits

If you are getting different results, then your numbers are different.
Make sure you are not looking at the same goal number and not all
goals. Also make sure your date range is the same. Finally, I would
ensure that you are not hitting any sampling problems (by looking if
any of the record have a confidence interval greater than 0)
