How to exclude a string with RegEx in Google Analytics?












0















Is there any other way (other than using custom segments) I can make a 1:1 comparison between the traffic of two subsets of pages, where one is directory1 (ie. ^/directory1/(.*)) and the other is everything but directory1 using RegEx in Google Analytics?



I know negative lookahead is not allowed in GA. Any doable workaround?



I'd like to obtain a similar stacked chart where the blu line represents directory1 and the orange one everything but directory1:
enter image description here

          This can be done with Google Analytics custom Content Groups or custom dimensions. You can just do a custom report and set include to contentGroup1 and exclude to contentGroup2
