Metrics: Sets the metrics of interest (clicks, pageviews, etc)...

In noahhl/r-google-analytics: R Handler for importing Google Analytics information from the Google Analytics API

Description

Sets the metrics of interest (clicks, pageviews, etc) Optional. The aggregated statistics for user activity in a profile, such as clicks or pageviews. When queried by alone, metrics provide aggregate values for the requested date range, such as overall pageviews or total bounces. However, when requested with dimensions, values are segmented by the dimension. For example, ga:pageviews requested with ga:country returns the total pageviews per country rather than the total pageviews for the entire profile. When requesting metrics, keep in mind: Any request must supply at least one metric because a request cannot consist only of dimensions. You can supply a maximum of 10 metrics for any query. Most combinations of metrics from multiple categories can be used together, provided no dimensions are specified. The exception to the above is the ga:visitors metric, which can only be used in combination with a subset of metrics. Any given metric can be used in combination with other dimensions or metrics, but only where Valid Combinations apply for that metric. Metric values are always reported as an aggregate because the Data Export API does not provide calculated metrics. For a list of common calculations based on aggregate metrics. NOTE: We do check for valid metrics.

Usage

Metrics(metrics.param=NA)

Arguments

metrics.param

A vector of up to 10 dimensions, either as a single string or a vector or strings. E.g. "ga:visits" or c("ga:visits", "ga:bounces") If NULL is used, the metrics parameter will be unset. If no parameter is specified, the current metrics value is returned.

Value
