Hi
In the ‘Goals by Pages’ report, I’ve noticed decimal goal values. Could anyone clarify how these should be interpreted? Also, is there any correlation between these values and the ‘Page Value’ metric in Google Analytics?
Thanks!
Dieter
Hi @katanka
You’re right, it seems this is a bug:

Potential Bug
To Triage
### What happened?
Source: https://forum.matomo.org/t/meaning-of-goals-by-pages… -report/52485
When going to **Goal** > _**Any goal selected or the overview**_ > **Goals by Pages** > **Page URLs**, the number of conversions is not an integer, whereas it should display the number of conversions per page...
Also, the total number of conversion cannot be reached versus the number of conversion by channel...
### What should happen?
The number of conversions is not an integer, whereas it should display the number of conversions per page...
The sum of conversions by page should be equal to the sum of conversions by channel
### How can this be reproduced?

Whereas a total of 17 conversions should be displayed:

Hello @katanka ,
I tried to describe this in more detail in my blog here (in German).
I hope it helps you.
However, I have already reported a bug about it:

Bug
This issue is related to the new 4.11 feature described here:
https://github.c… om/matomo-org/matomo/issues/2030#issuecomment-928878139
## Expected Behavior
The "Viewed before _Goal XYZ_ rate" should "The ratio of conversions of _Goal XYZ_ where this page was viewed prior to converting."
My understanding is that "was viewed prior to converting" means "was viewed **in the visit** prior to converting."
I hope this is right.
## Current Behavior
I found a lot of page urls that were in the visit before the conversion and have now a"Viewed before a rate" of 0% and can't explain me this zero value.
See this screenshot please. This goal has 54 conversions.
The red marked page url has 22.64 conversions but 0% view prior rate.
