Data in the first column change when I add a date range to the second column [Time Spent per Visit (seconds)]

Hi Adobe Analytics community,

 

I am looking at the time spend per visit (seconds) metric last month and compare it with two months before. When I add the date range to the next column, the data in the first column change.

 

Please see first columns of freeform tables I attached. I would expect them to be identical but they are not. That looks quite unusual to me. In case you need it, I am selecting a virtual report suite and my visitors can be in different time zones.

 

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hi @kemalkilic 

agree, this looks odd. If this is only a difference of 1, this may be due to some internal rounding.

As long as it does not show 5s, I would probably accept it as some internal data discrepancy.

Cheers from Switzerland!

Hi @bjoern__koth,

Thanks for your reply.

In this example, the difference is only 1. However, I also have other cases where the difference is up to 5. I have a gut feeling that the difference is caused by time zone issue but I do not have a concrete argument for it.

Yeah, could indeed be time zone related.

What if you break it down by Country?


It is US-only data and I see the same data discrepancy in different states.
