Consider a funnel of 2 steps and a goal page : step 1 , step 2 , goal page A visitor enters the funnel at step 2 and leaves the funnel. The same visitor is browsing the web site (within the same session) and enters the funnel again, this time at step 1, continue to step 2 and to the goal page. How would the reports and the funnal visualization report on this visit ?

Rating: -1

The funnel visualization report will show the user as going from step1 -> step2 -> Goal. This is because the funnel visualization report uses session path instead of page-view path. Session path combines multiple visits to the same page if they are during the same session. Order also doesn't matter. If a visitors pageview path was step2 -> step1 -> step3 -> Goal, the report would still show the visitor progressing through the funnel in sequential order.

Page count will still be accurate in regards to all other reports. It is only the funnel visualization report that uses session path instead of page-view path.
