In the example below, we’ve selected one location and one specific season (Sept 1 to today). The only column hidden is Location.

📣 Key Things to Know

Total Rate (Conversion Rate) = # Conversions ÷ # Free Trials
Att Rate (Attendance Rate) = # Conversions ÷ # Attended Free Trials

This lets you compare stats at three levels:

  • Overall season stats

  • Level stats (e.g., “Big Feet 5–6”)

  • Individual class stats (specific sessions within a level)


💡 Pro Tips

  • Focus Filters: Narrow by season or location to spot high-performing programs.

  • 📅 Match Date Ranges: Align free trial and registration windows to avoid skewed results.

  • 🧹 Declutter Views: Hide unused columns for easier reading and analysis.

  • 📈 Compare Metrics: Use both conversion and attendance rates—together they reveal true trial effectiveness.

Why hide columns like Season or Location?
