GoalCompletions

Retrieves Goal Completion data.

Table Specific Information

Select

Google Analytics only allows up to 10 Metrics and 7 Dimensions in a single query. Therefore, when issuing a query that selects all columns, only the default Metric columns will be selected for tables with more than 10 Metrics. The default Dimensions will be used unless you explicitly select other dimension columns. The following query uses Date instead of the default GoalCompletionLocation dimension:

SELECT Date, GoalStartsAll, GoalCompletionsAll, GoalValueAll, GoalValuePerSession, GoalConversionRateAll, GoalAbandonsAll, GoalAbandonRateAll FROM GoalCompletions

Filters can also be used in the WHERE clause. Dimension fields support the =, !=, LIKE, and NOT LIKE operators. Metric fields support =, !=, >, >=, <, and <= operators. This query will find Goal Completions for a specific Goal Completion Location:

SELECT GoalCompletionLocation, GoalCompletionsAll FROM GoalCompletions WHERE GoalCompletionLocation = '/mypath'

All reports in Google Analytics must cover a specific date range. The default behavior is to pull the last month of data if the StartDate and EndDate inputs are left unset. To override this behavior, the values can be set directly in the query. For example:

SELECT * FROM GoalCompletion WHERE StartDate='90daysAgo' AND EndDate='Today'

The default dimension for the table will be used unless another dimension is specified in the select columns, the DefaultFilter, or the Dimensions column in the WHERE clause. See the note on Establishing a Connection for a limitation with some tools. The following queries return the same results:

SELECT * FROM GoalCompletions
SELECT GoalCompletionLocation, GoalStartsAll, GoalCompletionsAll, GoalValueAll, GoalValuePerSession, GoalConversionRateAll, GoalAbandonsAll, GoalAbandonRateAll FROM GoalCompletions
