google-analytics-4pageviewsquerystringparameter

In Google Analytics 4 (GA4) how can I see page views by path and querystring when only "Page path and screen class" is available?


In GA4 Reports > Engagement > Pages and screens, above the list of pages viewed, there is a dropdown with the following options:

The option that is missing (mentioned in various sources on the internet) is "Page path + querystring".

This is the same on several GA4 websites I manage (all upgraded from GA to GA4)

Any ideas on how to enable the missing option?


Solution

  • On left hand side, click "Explore" option. Then hit "Free form"

    Now on left hand side you have dimensions and metric. For dimension you need to choose page path + querystring and click import on top right corner, and for metric "Views" under "Page/screen" Like so: enter image description here

    Once that is done, you need to drag & drop or select that dimension under Rows, and under Values that metric. So for Rows select page path & query string, and for Values select Views. Like so: enter image description here

    This is very similar to what google data studio offers, but it is embedded in GA4, and somehow works way faster, and have more options ex. pathing. Also took me a while to figure how to display such data.
