Does Parse.com Explorer show user events that don't match the Events view?

I use the Parse.com REST API to track two kinds of user events, each of which has up to 3 dimensions.

The Custom Breakdown view for Analytics -> Events ( https://www.parse.com/apps/oss-hit-upload-test#events ) says that I recorded 1909 of one type of event and 805 of another. I believe that these calculations are correct, since they correspond to the input data.

In contrast, Analytics -> Explorer -> "Make Table" (for example, https://www.parse.com/apps/oss-hit-upload-test/explorer/559b7ed679bd3e69de000006 ) returns only 1,284 rows when I ask about it for each custom developments.

I am considering the same time period for both interfaces.

The calculations are incompatible. Is this a bug or am I using the Explorer interface incorrectly? I know that in Parse you can only get 1000 records at a time. Perhaps this (or similar) restriction applies to the Explorer interface? Or maybe Explorer is using some sort of fetch?

Yes, it looks like a failure in the explorer.

I was able to reproduce the problem using my Parse.com application and followed the steps exactly. In Parse Explorer, I get a much smaller than expected amount. For now, I would trust Google Analytics numbers.

FWIW, at one particular event, my accounts were 41579 in Analytics and 31848 in Explorer, the ratio was 1.3055. I see that your ratio was around 2.11, which means that the problem is more like a more complicated one than the simple difference in how events are logged. This indicates a deeper problem with how parses numbers add up.

NOTE. I will ask the Parse team if they have any suggestions and reports.
