Filter queries in Google Analytics are a way to include or exclude data from your custom reports. This is a powerful way to focus your reports on dimension or metric values.

Let’s pretend that you want to report on blog visits 📝 from Canadians 🇨🇦

You can use a filter to only include visits that contain the path “/blog” and are from the country of Canada. As a filter, this would look something like:

ga:pagePath=@/blog;ga:country==Canada

You might even want to go a step further by only including users who speak 🇫🇷 French so that you make the best possible decision!

Use filters to take control over the data included in your Google Analytics reports sent to Slack
