Just to add some details. The issue is that Google Analytics does sampling. The more precise the query, the less accurate it becomes. See this page. Our use of the date dimension for filtering date ranges exacerbates the issue. So while we will likely fix this by using parameters in the future, keep in mind that the problem will always be there to a degree.

Hi Tristan!

 

Any news on this, my problem besides propper aggregation, is that I get sampled data instead of actual values, and since I'm reporting sales my data is not real.

 

If I use a date range filter, the original query (confirmed with fiddler) is for the whole range of the DB (going all the way to 2013) and then the filter is applied, so i only get the results from the sampled filter... so no, its not useful.

 

Any news on this? is it going to be fixed/addressed soon?
