When adding a new metric to an Analysis Workspace table, it always
defaults the column to include the Percent. Most of our users
immediately disable the Percent view, or forget and share it out to
business users who are then promptly confused by it. This is
particularly the case with trended data. This could be avoided if the
default was just the metric by itself and the display of Percent is an
option that can be enabled
We want to add rolling date ranges in segments; there are a ton of great
use cases that would be solved by this. Either way, we'll keep an eye on
this idea for votes and comments and make sure we're solving your need
as we go. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THAT! Please!!!
The newly released compare functionality doesn't work at the Hour
granularity. That's one of our biggest use cases to see how we are
trending against same day last year.
Just another vote for this, as it's been the primary blocker in
migrating business users/reports into Analysis Workspace. My preferred
approach for this is to allow for rolling date ranges to be applied in
Segments, so that a "Last Year" or "Last Week" segment could be created
and either directly applied to a column in Analysis Workspace, or
applied to a "Last Week Average-Visits" calculated metric. That
flexibility would be ideal.
As a workaround I have used this, but if you have a number of reports,
some in sync with table builder, others not, it becomes unmanageable to
remember what dimension/metric you have X'ed out. If there was also an
Undo option, then maybe this is ok, but there isn't so this becomes
equally frustrating.
The biggest shortcoming of Table Builder is that it multiplies
everything. So if I'm doing exploration, and want to see how a
conversion rate for a single segment is comparing to visit trends, Table
Builder adds Conversion Rate to every segment I have up, increasing the
time it takes to load the data, and providing extraneous data, when I
just wanted to do a quick check. Then I just drag out Conversion Rate as
a new column manually, and now the Table Builder is out of sync and I
lose the convers...
When constructing a report with layered segments and dimensions in Ad
Hoc Analysis, it would be useful to Pause the refresh of the data so
that it's not trying to update every time a new metric or segment is
changed. This would allow the analyst to construct the report entirely
before pulling larger sets of data.The Table Builder only helps with
this so far. At a certain point in more complex reports, the layering of
segments and metrics can not be recreated with Table Builder.This would
also he...
