: In Google analytics, how do I see the paths through my site that users took to get to a page? On my site I'm currently trying to work out the typical paths that users follow within my site

@Debbie626

This data calculation could be complex and you are already aware of Behavior flow which is the best way to do comparative analysis.

However, try these alternatives:

Set up goal to a particular URL and funnel it down. (recommended, if you have to track any specific channel)

OR


Create a custom report for a particular Page Depth filter (say 3)
and the target Page (say xyz.htm).
Add dimension level 1 as landing page, dimension level 2 as next page path, dimension level 3 as page.
Use a preferred metric to compare data (say Unique pageviews).
Identify the % of pages from different sections of the website.


Note: Reports might be very different for different sessions and date ranges. For accurate results, it is highly recommended to do such analysis for one particular session at a time.
