Google Analytics - Category and Metric compatibilities

When building your analytics reports, we recommend using categories and metrics which are of the same type

Selecting different types of categories and metrics can lead to unconventional aggregation results. So, we recommend using categories exclusively with metrics that have the same type, i.e. Session categories with Session Metrics, Transaction categories with Transaction Metrics, and SKU categories with SKU metrics.

General categories can be used with any category or metric.
