Hallo guys, can anyone help me tell the exact formula of the average session duration where to get from? I’m having trouble finding a manual calculation of the average session duration
For example, from the google analytics report, I got an average session duration of 20 seconds. How is the manual calculation?
I’ve tried to calculate with this formula “Avg Session Duration = Session Duration / Sessions” but didn’t find the same result

Hi there @rifulabyssal,
To calculate the average session duration you need to divide the total duration fo all sessions on your website in seconds by the total number of sessions.
Let’s say that in 1 day you had 5 website visitors:
So what you need to do is add them all together: For example, say in one week you had three website visitors:
Then divide that number by 5 as there were 5 sessions:
So the average session duration for that day on your site was 59 seconds.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
