Traffic by hour during certain time period

Avatar

Level 1

Hi everyone, 

I would like to generate a report which shows me the times/hours of the day with the highest traffic during a certain time period (e.g. last month). If I use chose a trended report in Analytics with hourly granularity, it gives me the traffic for each hour in each single day of that time period. But I am not interested in the single days. I would like to have an overall number for each hour of the day. Same problem in Workspace. I think such a report is possible with the report builder but I need a solution for colleagues NOT working with report builder. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this in Reports or Workspace?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi Barabara,

At the moment, this is not possible. Although, it would be good to have a capability to build segments based on specific hour/day/week/month, etc.

One way, which may be a bit of a stretch is to use getTimeParting plugin. This basically captures the 'hour of the day', and 'day of the week' into a prop and this can be used to build segments and analyze your traffic.
