Google Analytics Dashboard on Tableau

Google Analytics is a free Web Analytics service that provides statistics and basic analytics tools for search engine optimization[SEO] and marketing purposes. The Dimensions and Metrics of Google Analytics are the building blocks of GA reports.

Dimensions are the attributes of your data, such as the city where traffic is coming from, the page you’re measuring, or the social media channel you’re evaluating.

Metrics are the quantitative measurements for those dimensions. For example, if you’re looking at how your ads are performing in Paris[dimension], the 3000 paid sessions you’ve recorded would be your matric.

Google Analytics categorizes data into three different levels:

• Acquisition
• Behavior
• Conversions

Tableau software is one of the fastest growing data visualization tool which is currently being used in the BI industry. It is the best way to change or transform the raw set of data into an easily understandable format with zero coding knowledge.
