Google Analytics split by page path against segment from GA. Same source, different outcome.
I have two different Querries, where however overall the same should come out.
I want to check the former on my blog pages.
The KPI in both queries is ENTRIES.
In one of them I divided into PAGE PATH and then used a SUMIFS(Page Path, "*/blog/*") to get the sums of all ENTRIES for my blog pages.
In the other one I used a segment from GA in which I use LANDINGPAGE CONTAINS /blog/.
Now different values come out, but in my opinion, I should get the same values.
Can someone explain to me why these values differ?
Or if deviations can be explained, which of the values is the more exact one?
I am sorry that i cant attach a file.
Thank you in advance
