All your videos are so helpful for me. I just start a job in a digital marketing as trainee and i watching your videos for better understanding . Thank you great job!!!
I still recommend most of my clients to stay with GA3 but set up the GA4 to start collecting data, and hold off from using it until Google releases something like GA4.1 :) I get that Google want to simplify the Analytics UX to match something like Tableau, but GA3 is still far superior product for seasoned Marketing Analyst.
couldnt agree with you more in regards to page path missing from the event type drop down. Certainly for single page web apps page titles are rarely maintained by developers to provide meaningful insight. Asking them to do it though is always going to be an uphill struggle, because they will always maintain that this information is available in page path (right fully so). Given it was accessible in GA UA, but not in GA4 is a big gap. Im quite surprised to see the GA UA sunset announcement before this has been added to be honest.
At 18:27 - Is it URLs that are visited between start and purchase? Because if the segment includes all and any page view - even if I never purchased anything I will be shown in the path analysis right?
Hey there, I have same frustration level as you when it come to lack of path names for steps in path explorer. I have an idea which might works on my side so I will be able to work around it. Could you share you thoughts about it? My idea was to use 'Create Event' or 'Modify Event' in GA4 for page_view to split this event by all my possible routes. So instead of page_view I will have other events like dashboard_page_view, landing_page_view, settings_page_view etc. Because its a SPA there is limited number of routes which I need to recreate by create/modify event. I think its beneficial to do a create event instead of modify, because we do not lost data from the past, if the google improve the experience in the advance analytics, and we can filter it out from making funnels.
You mentioned you would talk about another method for doing a wildcard type math of events later in the video, but later in the video you just show making a segment and again having to select and exact event name. Do you have any other recommendations, or did I miss something, where we can use a regex or wildcard type match condition to include only events starting with something like cart_* ?
Finding errors and fixing them has always been a low-hanging fruit with pretty good benefits. So I definitely like the ideas related to errors and user behavior around them.

Yes. Many features are still missing.
Breakdown by path was awesome. I did not think of that one.
Thanks for the practical examples. They were very helpful. I hope you update this video.
Great video! I have never really used the explore tools of Google Analytics before but I can see them being very useful.
Man I loved your content.. Ideally if you organize g4 tutorial in form of series for ecommerce please

Super, thanks! Very informative.
Super good !
where can I see interests in google analtyics 4? affinity and in market?
How do I add there the events came from before the website - for example google search result, facebook, direct url, etc?
Hi! What is the difference in applying a value to Segment field Vs Filter field? Eventually we are filtering the data via both these fields
How to add segments are source medium
Great video! Will this also work for App analysis based on Firebase?
Why is the value Event Count important? Does event count equal user count?
Hello, how to track mutliple user logins and the activity of each user who logged in to the website?

Can you specify the timestamps to which you are referring?
How do you save paths as reports?
As standard reports? You can't
Which is your favourite idea?

This is not longer the user experience in GA4 on the left menu.
Please check the description of the video
Google official demo site is a mess 😅
Hi there. Could you tell my how can I see more than 20 nodes in the report? It says only "others". Thank you :)
