1. Change

If InStr(remainParams, “&”) > 0 Then
findAmp = InStr(remainParams, “&”) + 1 ‘ in the remaining string, find the index of the &
remainParams = Mid(remainParams, findAmp, Len(myCell) - findAmp + 1) ‘ lose the & and everything before
End If

to

If InStr(remainParams, “&”) > 0 Then
findAmp = InStr(remainParams, “&”) + 1 ‘ in the remaining string, find the index of the &
remainParams = Mid(remainParams, findAmp, Len(myCell) - findAmp + 1) ‘ lose the & and everything before
Else
remainParams = “” ‘if no ampersand, ditch the rest
End If

Otherwise, if the value of the final query parameter contains a ‘=’, then you’ll get garbage included in your list

2. Change

myNewString = Mid(myCell, findQuestion, 100)

to

myNewString = Mid(myCell, findQuestion, Len(myCell) - findQuestion + 1)

as well as similar fixes in two other locations. This gives you the whole string rather than chopping it off at 100.

3. Your current method looks like it was intended to find a max of 10 query parameters per unique pageview. This is fine, but the current execution will only allow 7 total and leave a bit of a mess if there’s more. All 10 columns should be taken care of.

4. You can rewrite your code so that instead of deleting each duplicate query parameter as you come to it, you keep a running list of all the ones you need to delete and then delete the lot of them at the end. I rewrote the end this way and was able to cut runtime down to a couple of seconds at most.

Just a few things I thought I’d point out to you. You had a lot of things in your code that I’ll want to start using in my own macros, so I thought I’d return the favor

Thanks for referencing my blog article as well

At any rate, it looks like you could eliminate step 3 of your procedure by including it in the macro. Other than that, it sounds like an excellent tool.

When you add &limit=X to the URL, it only shows 10 results on the page but the export (at least the csv export - which is the one that I use) becomes X rows.

Guy,

Thanks for that tip. However, I’m having trouble getting it to work. When I add the parameter to the Top Content URL, the page goes back to showing 10 results. Are there any other details we need in order to make this work?

Yes for info: if you add the parameter “&limit=X” to the URL then GA will export X rows, up to many thousand.

Great tool you you guys, thanks for sharing this with us. As soon as I move back to Windows I’ll start using it.
