Has anyone built a report that would total the number of visits per membership in a given year? I'm wanting to look at what percentage of our members actually come to our museum. Any thoughts on how to build that out? Thanks!
@Jennifer ParksStrackNO but I have used the Total Number of Visits Smart Field a few times. Following your request though as it is a bit more detailed.
@Jennifer ParksStrack We are going live with Altru right now, so I am also interested in this report! I've bookmarked your question so I can follow along! Thank you for asking this!
@Jennifer ParksStrack Following because I'm in the same boat!
We have been struggling with this. I frequently get requests for “average member visitation last year” and it's difficult to explain why this issue is so complicated so I made a graphic to help show why we can't use a fixed year with memberships that have differing start/end dates:
We also have had difficulties getting accurate totals with the visitation smart field so we don't use that either. When I spot check it against a record's sales orders, it frequently doesn't match up. Plus it counts at the constituent level, not membership level, so if you have two constituents on a membership, you'd need to export it out for both of them and manually add it to get the membership total visits.
I'd love to find the best way to calculate visitation.
@Jennifer ParksStrackDid you ever successfully build a report for this? We have a few queries that seem to get me close but there's a number discrepancy between my reports and GA membership attendance counts (by too much to ignore). So I know that I'm missing something.
