Custom Date range doesn't work with Average Time on Site

Hi all,

 

I've created some custom date ranges, however it doesn't seem to work with Average Time on Site in a Freeform Table. It only seems to work when I use the custom range for a whole panel, but it's quite a lot of custom ranges and I need them in one table.

The other Key Metrics like Uniques and Visits and other custom calculated metrics (incl. time spent metrics) work fine, so I don't know where the issue is.

Help would be appreciated 🙂

 

Thanks

While I don't use Adobe's Time Metrics much... the Data from "Time Spent per Visit (seconds)" and "Time Spent per Visitor (seconds)" seems to match...

 

I did two tables, one broken down by "standard" week, then created a custom "Last Week" date range... the numbers match...

 

If I convert the "Time Spent per Visit (seconds)" into Minutes, it matches the "Average Time on Site" value...

So you can create a custom metric to see in minutes like this to use instead of "Average Time on Site":

@jennifer_dungan This is really great, it helps converting the seconds to minutes directly in the report. Learned something new today. Thanks!

Yeah.. it's so much better than "divide by 60"  😛 

(then trying to figure out what 0.2 of a minute is in seconds)
