Month dimension and Month Granularity in DataWarehouse reports

[ElinaMirin]

Hello! I have created a request in Datawarehouse where I extract page views, visits, etc along with different dimension: hostname, tracking code and month. I need monthly granularity, I have checked that in my request, but I also have added month dimension. Now, the report comes with 2 date columns instead of 1: month which comes from the granularity and date range month which comes from the month dimension. As an alternative, I have excluded month dimension and only keep the monthly granularity, but my report is scheduled on a weekly basis and I will only have the 1st of the month for my reports: 1/1/2025, 1/2/2025, 1/3/2025 and so on. The date range month will help me to have the beginning of each week in the report and that will help me further in my reporting. Does anyone know how I can only keep the date range month, meaning the month dimension, but also having the granularity monthly, but without this column that comes with it?

Here's something you could try:

• In Granularity, set it to None.
• Keep your Month (Date Range) dimension.

• You’ll still get monthly totals because that dimension buckets the data by month anyway.

Even though you set “Granularity = None,” the presence of the Month dimension ensures that results are grouped by month. You won’t lose monthly aggregation.

Or, if your weekly schedule benefits from having “week start” dates in the report, you could:

• Set Granularity = Week

• Include Month (Date Range) as an additional dimension

This way, your data will contain both:

• The week start date (e.g., 10/6/2025, 10/13/2025)

• The month that week belongs to (e.g., October 2025)
