Flipkart uses an s_code version lesser than h.25.3 code and fails to take advantage of first party cookie (s_fid) set by js code while using a third party cookie. Paying huge sum to Adobe and failing to take advantage of this fall back method :-(  in an online world which experiences a higher rejection rate for third party cookies ????? Adobe used user agent and IP address to track the user while s_vi cannot be SET in version lesses than H.23.5 which only means many people in a single network is treated as one visitor :-( Why on earth do you want to track your visitor statistics in such a way!!!!

Preserving the required metrics/dimensions in a certain order while creating reports using Report Builder, and saving the templates by naming it properly is the key to build automated dashboards. Keep the raw the data in one sheet (don't forget to set the preserved order), and the formatted one in other (just apply the formula once - connect the data with charts). Every time you refresh the report with a different date range or different RSIDs due to preserved order set in the raw data sheet, the formulas applied in the formatted sheet connecting the raw data works superbly.

Adobe Analytics// Issue with calculated metrics!!! Wrong calculation when one of the value used in the calculation is zero. For example: Whenever the order value is zero and revenue has some value, the AOV calculated metrics divides revenue/orders. Ideally the output should be zero; it throws up wrong value here. I saw this across Client RSIDs; whenever the order value is zero and revenue has some numbers, the value is calculated wrongly. Need help!

Adobe Analytics//  Passing units and revenue unnecessarily in s.products in pages other than purchase page is not a best practice, and will not be reported in analytics report. Solely relying on scAdd to track units added to the cart is definitely misleading. One can add multiple products at once..so........Better to keep track of units added to shopping cart in a separate variable + one more variable to track the revenue; preferably in the product string would be great. This will allow you yo calculate lost revenue vs actual revenue and actual units sold vs added units.  "The Revenue and Unit parameters are only valid when used in combination with the Purchase Success Event. They will be ignored in all other cases."  http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalmarketing/analytics/products-variable-inside-omniture-sitecatalyst/ I posted to confirm on my understanding on Adobe forum - The great Adam chose to reply for it.
