: Google Analytics Funnel Step Regular Expression Not Working The first step in a funnel is going to have a dynamic ending fragment. Examples: http://mysite.com/invite/tickle-party http://mysite.com/invite/pajama-party

The first step in a funnel is going to have a dynamic ending fragment. Examples:

mysite.com/invite/tickle-party http://mysite.com/invite/pajama-party mysite.com/invite/puppy-party

To allow for such dynamism, I provided this url for step one:

invite(.*)


My goals work but the funnel visualization report shows 0 for everything.

I know this problem is due to the regex in the funnel step because I copied this entire goal except I replaced

invite(.*)


with

/invite/puppy-party


When I hardcoded /invite/puppy-party the funnel worked as expected.

Why is my funnel report not working with my original funnel step url parameter?

I found that the type of match needs to be set to Regular Expression even if you want the funnel URLs to be expressed as regex.
