Export common reports to Google Sheets

If you do not run your own reports, you may also export common reports to Google Sheets. Follow these directions to configure and run your reports:

1. Install the Google Analytics add-on for Google Sheets. This lets you retrieve reports from Google Analytics.
   
   
2. Click here to copy our template. This creates a Google Sheet configured to receive your reports.
   
   
3. Enter your View ID in the cells across row 3. To find your View ID in Google Analytics, go to: Admin > View settings > View ID.
   
   
   
   
4. Enter a Start Date in YYYY-MM-DD format across row 4. Use the earliest date for which you have data to export the full history.  
   
   
   
   
5. From the top menu bar, select: Extensions > Google Analytics > Run reports.
   
   

Each report appears as a new tab in your current Google Sheets workbook. You may download it in CSV, ODS, XSLX, and other formats. For information about reporting tools and configurations from Google Analytics, see: Reporting tools.
