I´m on homepage of Google Analytics, and when i click to show today data, its not load (and not show) today data.
I tried to delete the cache, im not using AdBlock and nothing else which could cause this problem.
If you are using the free version of Google Analytics, you typically need to wait at least 24 hours before data will start populating in GA. See this question: How long does it take for Google Analytics Goals to start show some data?
Most of the times it will show you the live data in reports(may be few mins delay)
Click on the Date Selecton on the top right corner of screen, then in "Date Range" select "today". It will show the latest data.
But the official time suggest by Google Analytics is 24 hours for free GA users and 4 hours for premium GA 360 users

I have successfully created a GTM trigger and tag using the click_text parameter. When I preview and when I published the change both were successful in showing up on my Google Analytics 4 debug and real time tabs. I cannot seem to find a recorded total for this new tag trigger in either GTM or GA4 anywhere. Does this exist in either of these, or do I need to create an event in GA4 unrelated to what I set up in GTM. I have read most of Google's provided documentation on this specific step and it stops flat at this step of things.
Thank you in advance.
If you see your event in real time data report in GA, you're good. The data is in that property. It, however, is not yet available for aggregation, so you won't be able to count them or use them in other reports.
You should wait up to two days for the data to be in the non-real time reports. Vast majority of the data will be available for aggregation in one day, however. Some starts showing up in hours. GA 360 (paid version of GA) shortens the two days to four hours until all data is there.
I'd also suggest using Adswerve plugin for GA debugging: it will print all DataLayer changes as well as everything that is being sent to GA in the console. It's much more comfortable than using real time hits report and it will show you all dimensions that are being sent to GA.
I have just started using the new Google Analytics 4 and find so many features from the previous versions of Google Analytics are missing. One of the main features that I can see in GA4 that looks promising is the automatically included event tracking.
The issue I am having though is when I then try to drill down into the 'click' data to view the link URLs that have been clicked there is only the 'events in the last 30 minutes' and no way of viewing the data from the last week for example.
Am I just completely missing something? Does the data have to be accessed in a different way (data studio perhaps)? or is it only possible to view the previous 30 minutes of data before its gone forever?
You have to use the new reports (not only the real time):
Check here for some details about new reporting and navigation in Google Analytics 4: https://www.kristaseiden.com/new-reporting-navigation-in-appweb/
I have a website with around 100 page views / minute (as seen in my real time data overview. However, when I generate a report it says I've only had 15 page views. How do i get the pageviews/minute metric in a report so that the numbers are right?
Thanks!
Did you checked the pageviews report right after opening the real-time report?
Don't forget that to Free Google Analytics accounts it takes 24-48 hours for processing the data, to Premium GA accounts it takes 4 hours.
After that time go to Behavior > Site Content > All pages report and check if the data is right.

I took the code from the google-analytics website and put it right before the closing body tag like the instructions say to do and changed the xxxxx-x value from the profile page in the code.
I uploaded the new index file and refreshed the page a few times and have yet to get a single hit on it and I'm kind of curious as to why this might be? Any ideas?
You won't see analytics data in realtime. Google is working towards that, but there is a lag in showing traffic:
See this Google Help page:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Analytics/thread?tid=450ae99d8e40bfaf&hl=en
"Hi, Google Analytics has a current time lag for standard tracking of about 1-2 hours - so it's almost real-time (do you really want to check your analytics data every 10 minutes?). Switch to the current day in your calender and refer to the hourly reports - for example the Visitors/Visitor Trending/Visits/Graph by Hour report - to verify that."
I am interested in seeing visits on my site broken down by hour - is there any way to generate a report of this in Google Analytics? It appears that all metrics are only broken down by day. Maybe I can get this information through the GA API?
Since Google Analytics was revised the currently accepted answer is no longer available. The current version of Google Analytics will let you view visitors per hour:
Go to the Reporting Tab
Select "Audience"
Select "Overview"
Select "Hourly"
If you're trying to determine total traffic by hour of the day for a given date range then you can use this custom report:
https://www.google.com/analytics/web/permalink?type=custom_report&uid=pToP7693ReSxfSIpbqHmWg
Only a few reports have hour-by-hour data; as far as I know, they're all in the 'Visitors' section.
For example, to see Visits by hour over a period of time, click Visits, Visitor Trending, then Visitors. Then, in the top right of the report, select Graph by: (icon of a clock)
All of the reports under Visitor Trending have hour-by-hour data, except Absolute Unique Visitors.
As far as the API goes, you can check what query combinations are valid here (since there are restrictions): http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gdata/gdataReferenceDimensionsMetrics.html
According to that, all metrics can be viewed by an hourly dimension except Campaign metrics and Visitor (not to be confused with Visit) metrics.
You can test the query you want to run with the Google Analytics Data Feed Query Explorer
If using a (downloadable, emailable) custom report is an option, you can use the custom report described on http://salman-w.blogspot.com/2012/07/analytics-day-of-week-hour-of-day-report.html
The article tells you to do the following:
Create a custom report with flat table (I am sure it will work with explorer style reports too)
Add the dimension hour (not hour of day)
Add the metric visits, pageviews, etc
