Why Don't I See My Custom Dimension in the Setup Form?
Use case
You set up a custom dimension in Google Analytics. It does not appear as a choice in the dimensions drop-down box in the Fivetran Google Analytics connector's setup form.
Environment
Connector: Google Analytics
Answer
In the Fivetran Google Analytics connector setup form, a custom dimension appears as dimensionXX
, where XX
refers to the number or index of the custom dimension.
Cause
The display format of the custom dimension name is related to the format Google Analytics uses to store custom dimension values (ga:dimensionXX
, where XX refers to the number or index of the custom dimension).
See Google Analytics' Metadata Columns documentation and Google Analytics' Dimensions & Metrics explorer tool documentation for more information.
