Understanding Data Discrepancies in Page Views Across Filters

·
·

Hi Team, I'm seeing minor discrepancy of data while using different filters. I created two different charts using similar properties

  • One with Page Views [unique users], break down using browser property - last 30 days

  • One with having Page Views[Unique Users] (filter browser is set) & Page View[Unique Users] (filter is not set) - last 30 days

Ideally in both cases, the total of the events should be same, but there is a minor discrepancy in total number of events, I know discrepancy is very small, but still want to understand why there is a discrepancy, so that we're aware that till what level error we can face and reasons for it Please refer attached screenshots

    If you were to compare the total number of unique users for metric A + metric B vs metric C, the figures should be the same. For example, in this sample report (screenshot below). Since you’re seeing a discrepancy in your report, would you mind sending me a link to it so I can take a closer look?
