How to set goal in Google Analytics that required specific page

[ddspg]

So our company has new page that has just implemented (let say  "page x" --> not a landing page) and we want to see how many visitors that through  "page x " convert into the goal (let say "page y"). If I just make the goal destination like "/page y" the goal number that appear is ALL the visitors who reach "page y" (through or not through "page x"), so how I set the goal setting to only show the visitors who reach "page y" through "page x" ? Thank you

Hi

If you are trying to build a funnel with a specific page that must be visited before reaching the destination page please see the attached screenshot of how to do this.

Just turn on funnels when you build a goal add your page x URL and make it required.

Here is more on this from Google - https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1116091?hl=en

specifically - "When you create a destination goal, you also have the option to create funnel for that goal. A funnel is a sequence of pages that you anticipate users seeing before they reach the goal. Report data for the funnel appears in the funnel_Visualization_ report."

Hope this helps!

You could create a segment that contains only people that have visited page x. If you define your goal as all people who have reached page y and you filter to show only the segment you will see only the conversions for those who first went to x and then somehow came to page y.
