How to Import Google Analytics Event Count Data into Excel

Analyzing Event Count data from Google Analytics in Excel helps marketing teams understand how users interact with your website and which actions they take most frequently.

Instead of manually exporting data that quickly becomes outdated, you can create a live connection that refreshes automatically with the latest event metrics.

2. Set your desired date range (last 7 days, last 30 days, custom range, etc.)
3. Select “Event Count” as your primary metric
4. • By event name to see which actions occur most frequently
   • By date to track trends over time
   • By page to understand where events happen
   • By user type to compare new vs. returning users
   Add dimensions to segment your event data:
5. Apply filters if you want to focus on specific types of events
6. Preview your selection to ensure it provides the insights you need

2. Choose where you want the data to be placed in your spreadsheet
3. • Navigate to the “Automations” tab in the Coefficient sidebar
