Flipkart's Adobe Analytics Tracking and "Whats Missing"

Image
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!!!!

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.
