eVar visits sum more than 100%?

i have an eVar30 that gets set on every page on site. possible values for eVar30=[a,b,c,d,e]

when i run report on eVar30 for visits, instances, page view.

the sum of all different segments of [a,b,c,d,e] sums up to roughly 100% for instances and page view

but for visits the sum is significantly higher than 100%. and the count for visits is bigger than instances and page view. (because visits are session based, i expect that visits numbers should be less than instances or pageviews?)

wondering if anybody would know whether this is an indication of code error on my end or some usage case that could cause this result.

thanks in advance

Heres the report, see that None has almost no page views, or instances does this means i m over reporting? but should all 3 key metrics be inflated as well?

Visits PageViews Instance Order segA 158-58.8% 187-51.0% 187-51.1% 7-51.9% segB 134-49.9% 179-48.8% 179-48.8% 7-48.1%
None 128-47.3% 3-0.1% 0-0.0% 0-0.0%

Just because of de-duplication of visit the percentage is higher than 100% which doesn't happen in case of page view or instances.

Since you're setting this on every page, each visit will have multiple line items in the eVar30 report. The same visit can be duplicated across each line item so the total of the report will be more than 100%. If you had one visit hit 3 pages, setting three different values for eVar30, you visit total would be 3 for that single visit.
