I'm a newbie user of google analytic.
And I realize that I don't understand one chart in home section of google analytic.
I don't understand about the dot line. What does it try to express/explain? It doesn't like to express percentage change.
Please let me know more if you know.
Thank in advance,
Jame
The dotted line shows you the same metric for the preceding same-length period - i.e the 28 days before the time range you're looking at.

I have a weird problem with one of google analytics accounts and I'm hoping someone can help me figure what might be causing it.
Essentially, in the middle of the day, Google Analytics stops showing data. It will show me my hourly revenue till about noon and then the data regresses back to show only hourly revenue till 8 in the morning. This screenshot was taken at 1:30 PM today:
The hourly revenue will update again at around 4 PM. Its a very irritating problem and I can't find any solutions on google for it.
Let me know if I need to provide any additional information that might help you understand my situation.
Thanks for your help!
Is this something new? Because I'm having issues with revenue tracking over the last 24 hours.
For my recent project, i m trying to develop a brand new report for google analytics using the Sessions data over a period of time.
When I compare the numbers that I get from https://ga-dev-tools.appspot.com/query-explorer/ and check the report that we have created in analytics.google.com the numbers for sessions are off. They dont match exactly. They are off by like 1%. What might be the reason for this.
Can someone please help me here?
I can give more details if needed.
Thanks
Adding to the above , one more thing I noticed
This happens only When I add Segment filter to be specific. Without the segments the numbers for all users look good.
Had a call with Google Analytics support. They say that there isnt actual support for the Rest Api code and the Front End report from Google Analytics has built in Logic to filter out certain personal information like age related, sex, etc. which is not there in the Rest Api when it pulls in data.
So this is the reason why the numbers are off by 1% all the time.
Hope this helps
Thanks
I am facing a problem in GA analytic. My own analytics tells the different thing about no. of user made sign up while GA tell something else.
This is the goal designation codmedialert.com/accounts/register/complete/
The funneling is like
codmedialert.com/accounts/register/
codmedialert.com/accounts/register/complete/
codmedialert.com/accounts/activate/complete/
Is it something wrong with the goal created or analytics is telling me wrong.
You can get immediate results by going to realtime->conversions.
For the rest of reports it takes few hours, you just have to set the date range to "today"
Impossible to know anything else by viewing only the urls you posted, please debug by using the real time view
For a client of ours, we're looking for a matrix from the Google Analytics reports that shows the best day and time with the most visitors on the website, measured by page views.
I've been inspired by SocialBro, which shows this awesome grid with dots indicating the best time to tweet, depending on how many of your followers are active at a given time.
Is it possible to generate such a view with Google Analytics custom reports?
Really looking forward to any suggestions!

You can get the hourly traffic breakdown from Twitter as a table easy enough example here. On the visualisation front, will have to be a case of roll-your-own.
I have a website, and want to use the Google Analytics API to give me data that only includes visits with a specific goal completion (say goal 2). I'm trying to use the ga:goal(2)Completions metric in a segment to get this data like this:
segment=dynamic::ga:goal(2)Completions!=0
However, whenever I try this in the Query Explorer I'm told this is an invalid segment value. I don't see goal(n)Completions as a disallowed metric for use in segments in the documentation (https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/v3/reference#segment), so what's the problem here? Is there a different way to get this data segment?
It is because of
you shouldn't use "segment="
(n) value should be with out brackets.
ids= ga:XXXXXXXX
start-date= 2012-01-01
end-date= 2012-01-31
metrics= ga:visits
segment= dynamic::ga:goal2Completions!=0
I have tested and the sample above should work fine.
And if you want to do the opposite use
segment= dynamic::ga:goal2Completions==0
You can double-check it by running the query without segmentation - both above should sum up the the latest one.
Cheers
