: Google Analytics Goal funnel setup not reporting correct numbers We have setup a completion goal in Google Analytics, that should match steps based on the beginning of the URL. The setup screenshot:

But in the funnel visualization the "Car detail" page is not counted properly, as some of the car details hits are actually counted in the "exit" part of the "Car list" page:
The URL matching is set to "Begins with", so it should match the "Car details" urls, that end with /..../car/$CAR_ID/. However it seems that those are not counted in "Car details" step. Is there any other way to make Google Analytics report correct numbers for "dynamic" URLs?

This sounds a lot like a situation I recently came across.
My logic was very similar to yours:
The goal URLs contained a ? (query string) but everything before the query string was the same so I thought "starts with" would be the logical choice (and less error prone).
It turns out that URLs containing special characters require the RegEx matching.
Hope that helps!
