title: Google Analytics custom dimension values are not displayed in Audience -> User Explorer
body: <p>I am trying to have add custom dimensions in google analytics</p>
  <p>For this, I have added several custom dimensions under</p>
  <pre><code> admin -&gt; custom definitions -&gt; custom dimensions
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am using google analytics measurement protocol to send values for custom dimensions. In Audience -&gt; User Explorer there is no value for some custom dimensions, but when I go to Customization -&gt; Custom Reports values that are missing in User Explorer are there</p>
  <p>I have waited 3 days as I thought that google synchronizes the data in 24-72 hours. But no result!</p>

  <p>In case custom dimension is empty in my request, I send N/A(Not Available) as a default value.<br />
