Is there any way to display data from explorations in reports? Can I generate report based on data from sepcific explorations?

I want to build a custom report on the past year's (historical) data in Google Analytics that has a custom column that's a transformation of data from another column.
That is, I want to strip out the querystring and /##### at the end of the URI to make another column so that all pages are grouped properly. I don't want to filter the raw data that's coming into GA, just the data on the report.
Is this possible?
It is not possible in Analytics reports.
You can export the data in a Spreadsheet (or Excel) and clean it, or in the reports you can filter all the desired rows (eg with a regex) and read the total values of the metrics in the total row (under the header of the tabele).
I have two different properties, one property is for historical data (e.g. from 01/01/2016 - 09/25/2016), while another one includes data from 09/26/2016-present. I want to create a custom report, which includes the data from 01/01/2016 - present.
I have tried to use Views option -> 2 views selected when I am building the custom report. However, it creates one view in each property, which has data for separate date ranges. Is it possible to merge these two views in different properties together to get data from 01/01/2016 - present?
In GA UI its not Possible, but there is good workaround.
Using GA API via Google Sheets aka Google Analytics automation script
You can use the Google Analytics API and Google Apps Script to access your Google Analytics data from Google Sheets. This is powerful because it allows you to utilize all the great features of Google Sheets with your analytics data, such as easy sharing, collaboration, charting and visualization tools. (Study here)
Create a sheet, pull data from property 1.
In sheet 2 pull data from property 2.
Merge the data in Sheet 3.
Fairly easy and manageable.
Big Query
If you have access to Big Query account for each property, then just write a query taking data from two different data sets for the desired range using TABLE_DATE_RANGE. (Study Here)
I'm looking to repartition Google analytics data from stats date tables (the default export we get each day) to dated tables based on published date of each article URL (a custom dim we have). This is for more efficient querying by publish date by a BI dashboard that needs to calculate user counts on the fly for arbitrary date ranges.
So plan is to append data each day to the relevant publish dated tables. Just wondering if there is an easy way to do this or if I need to look though each stats date data for all the publish dates that had hits each day and then append one by one to relevant publish date tables?
putting together a report and I want to try to duplicate this report: https://www.soasta.com/blog/mobile-web-performance-monitoring-conversion-rate/. Trying to figure out how to do it in custom reporting in Google Analytics, but am having a difficult time coming up with the right format. the metrics i need are page load time and conversion rate, but when putting together a custom report i need to enter in a dimension too.... wondering if this is even possible given the way GA collects and stores data. Thanks!!
This is no possible with Google analytics, as it is not possible to use a measure (load time) as a dimension (in the X axis) inside custom reports or dashboards.
What you can do instead is download this data in a spreadsheet format, and create the chart in a spreadsheet.
I had sent data to google analytics using the measurement protocol. To distinuish the data from the original web traffic, I had used the "Data Source" (DS) field (See https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/parameters).
However I could not find a way how to filter this data on Google Analytics. Have anyone has idea how to seperate the two data sources in Google Anaytics? I would like to have a view that doesn't include/ have only this data source?
Thanks..
according to the Dimensions & Metrics Explorer you can filter the Data Type using a segment!
