About report results
With Interactive reports, your results show on the same page as your report setup. Results show automatically as you add metrics and dimensions to your report.
Note that the "Totals" row shows results for all unfiltered data that is returned, and includes totals for the entire table, not just what’s displayed.
To navigate reports with multiple pages, in the lower-right corner, click the arrows.
Change the report layout
After your report is generated, you can change the layout as follows:
- To reorder columns, next to "Select dimensions and metrics," drag a dimension or metric to the desired column order. Dimensions always show before metrics.
- To display top results by rank, next to "Display," click and select an option, such as "Top 5." When you display top results, dimension and metric menus become available. Make a selection to further sort ranked results by a dimension or metric.
- To show a dimension as a column, under "Columns," click the menu and select a dimension. Note that to select a column dimension, "Split" must be set to "Totals only."
- To filter by flags, under "Filter by flag," click the menu and select a flag.
- To organize columns, next to a column heading, click and filter, sort, or hide the column. For example, if you added the "Total impressions" metric, you can sort the results from highest to lowest.
- To unhide a column you previously hid, next to a column heading, click the "Show column" arrow.
- To adjust column width, drag a column separator left or right.
- To view more rows, next to "Show rows," click and make a selection.
About time comparisons in the report
You can set up reports to show data for a single day or various date ranges. And you can compare your date selection to other time periods. By default, no time comparison is applied.
Apply a time comparison
Under "Compare," you can choose from the following options:
- Previous period: Compare your selected time period to the one before it of the same duration. For example, if your selected time period is "Last 7 days," the previous period compares the 7 days before that.
- Same period last year: Compare your selected time period to the same time period last year.
- Custom period: Compare your selected time period to a time period you specify.
When you compare time periods, the report includes a "Change" column that shows the difference between the periods. You can filter the column for "Total change values" or "Percent change values."
Add a time period split
Along with time comparisons, you can apply a time period split. For example, if you select "Day" under "Split," the results will show for each time comparison as follows:
- Previous period: Each day in the report is compared to its previous day.
- Same period last year: Each day in the report is compared with the same day in the previous year.
- Custom period: Each day in the report is compared to the custom period.
The same rules apply to Week, Month, and Quarter column breakdowns.

Reports you created without a name show "Unnamed report" and have the status "Draft." You can continue creating your draft reports at a later date.
