I am stumped on some of the data I am seeing.

The image below summarizes the data that I am pulling from the API into Tableau.

In GA, we have the URL goal setup for the page shown. I am confused on how the following situation exists:

How can 121 visits generate 483 pageviews and 420 goals (unique pageviews)?

The way that I interpret the results:

the url shown was seen over 121 visits but viewed 420 unique times.

I simply don't get how that is possible.

Given this data, even I was inclined to come to the same conclusion. However, I think Tableau is mixing up visit level and page level metrics. Avinash Kaushik has recently written a kick-ass post on this common error.

I would still go to GA and double check this data in Site Content->All Pages Report.
