Finding I can't get certain data sets out of GA that I used to rely on.

So, i try Custom Reports (always a good idea) and that isn't working, and Data Studio seems to be a complete cluster.

So can anyone offer a decent reference to a decent 101 tutorial on how to make this thing work?

Here's my immediate problem. No ability to scroll various controls, no ability to scroll vertically, no way to delete a single data column without starting all over (which is a nightmare in itself) etc etc.

All I want is an old school report that is Sessions / Uniques / Pageviews / Time on Site by date.

Is that too much to ask?

I remember I had a way to cobble this together in the past - but apparently someone either forgot this - or they decided it didn't need to be part of the layout or reporting functions.

I'd post a screenshot but apparently the admins seem to have left the ability to attach graphics out of the feature set here...

Waaa - waaa - waaaaa...

What a mess. In the early days, I used to greatly enjoy working with Analytics and today, I find it a sad imposter for the real thing - and Data Studio doesn't seem to help here either.

thanks, as always,

C

Anyone got any pointers or tips about DataStudio?

Seems like it could be a great product for this 20+ years in "noob" - but all "free" template searches seem to lead to a paid template site.

Any suggestions on free templates for DataStudio?

Is anybody listening?

I haven't used DataStudio, but I did look at it a while back.

It's probably overkill for my needs.

When I looked, a while back, I did see a range of free templates, but didn't look into it further. Just a guess that the free templates will probably include some kind of branding.
