Google Analytics Data V1alpha API - Class Google::Analytics::Data::V1alpha::Dimension (v0.8.3)
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Analytics Data V1alpha API class Google::Analytics::Data::V1alpha::Dimension.
Dimensions are attributes of your data. For example, the dimension city
indicates the city from which an event originates. Dimension values in report
responses are strings; for example, city could be "Paris" or "New York".
Requests are allowed up to 8 dimensions.
(::String) — The name of the dimension. See the API
Dimensions
for the list of dimension names.
If dimensionExpression is specified, name can be any string that you
would like. For example if a dimensionExpression concatenates country
and city, you could call that dimension countryAndCity.
Dimensions are referenced by name in dimensionFilter, orderBys,
dimensionExpression, and pivots.
#name=
defname=(value)->::String
Parameter
value (::String) — The name of the dimension. See the API
Dimensions
for the list of dimension names.
If dimensionExpression is specified, name can be any string that you
would like. For example if a dimensionExpression concatenates country
and city, you could call that dimension countryAndCity.
Dimensions are referenced by name in dimensionFilter, orderBys,
dimensionExpression, and pivots.
Returns
(::String) — The name of the dimension. See the API
Dimensions
for the list of dimension names.

would like. For example if a dimensionExpression concatenates country
and city, you could call that dimension countryAndCity.
