I'm an IT professional, and I'm relatively new to using Google Analytics. I'm currently working on implementing GA4 for gathering custom data from a web application.
I'm utilizing the GA Measurement Protocol to transmit custom events, some of which come with custom parameters. For example, each time a player completes a game, I send a "game_gameover" event with a payload like this:
{
score: 123,
level: "dungeon",
monstersKilled: 11,
gameDuration: 112
}

yaml
Copy code
{
score: 123,
level: "dungeon",
monstersKilled: 11,
gameDuration: 112
}
I've set up custom dimensions to capture these custom parameters, and they're being recorded properly. What I'm aiming to achieve is:
Go to Explore and create a new Exploration.
Add a column displaying the AVERAGE gameDuration.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Unfortunately, GA4 lacks support for custom calculated or aggregated metrics. While you can export data to a Google Sheet and perform calculations there, for a more interactive and automated solution, consider utilizing Looker Studio or another visualization/BI tool.
