GA - How much traffic was sent from Page-A to Page-B

Looking into GA and trying to work out if one page sent traffic to another page (and if so, how much traffic).

I used the Behavior Flow page for this, but it returned "(not set)" when I tried to view the pages that page directed traffic to from 'All Traffic'.

I then looked in landing pages and selected a custom dimension and used 'Referral path' for that page. It showed some data, however, the majority was "(not set)".

I'm just looking to see if our calculator sends any traffic to our product page.

Assuming both Page-A and Page-B have the same GA tracking code, it should show me if there are referrals in those reports, no? Or does there need to be a tracking parameter in the URL?

If there's another report I need to check, please let me know.

Referrals are implicitly "external" referrals.

Yep, you can setup event tracking on the outbound link from the calculator.

But try this for me please...
Audience, Users Flow.
You'll see it chose a bunch of common, high-traffic pages.
Just click on any page, it doesn't matter which one, then click on "Explore traffic through here".
It'll now show you traffic going into and out of the page you picked. :-)
I know, the page you picked isn't the calculator page, the page of interest to you.
But...
Now that you've randomly drilled into a page, do you see a little edit pencil button above the graph?
Click that puppy.

If it says there's not enough data, then go setup event tracking for the inbound internal links.
Whenever you're studying something like this, try the higher volume page first, whether it's A or B (likely A).
