Formula
(Add to Cart / Number of Sessions)
Calculation example
Let's say, during a specific time period:
The total number of "Add to Cart" events is 500.
The total number of sessions is 100.
Adds to Cart per Session = (Total Add to Cart Events) / (Total Number of Sessions)
Adds to Cart per Session = 500 / 100 = 5
The total number of "Add to Cart" events is 500.
The total number of sessions is 100.
Adds to Cart per Session = (Total Add to Cart Events) / (Total Number of Sessions)
Adds to Cart per Session = 500 / 100 = 5
