Configuring reports to display different channels individually

Many of us have AdSense ads on many different pages on our sites, and we want to be able to simply and quickly look over a report that tells us how our different pages are performing.

I'm really new to all this, and I used this site's Search to find existing threads about reports and channels. After finding a good thread, I tried to reply to it and bring it back up, but the thread was a couple of years old and had expired. In that thread, someone said:

"What I need, but am not getting, is stats that show me which pages generate the most clicks over time."

(And, of course, some of us want to know which of our pages generate the fewest clicks.)

In reply, martinibuster said, "This can be done in aggregate. With over 100,000 impressions it sounds like you have a great many pages. With a great many pages it sounds like an inefficient way of judging the efficiency of ads."

"Another approach is to judge blocks of pages according to what kind of page it is, to assign it to a group, and judge the EPC fingerprint of different ad modules to the different classes of pages, and thus tease out the appropriate ad module for the appropriate page. To drill down to a specific page may not be the right approach if you have many pages."

Some of that is over my head, but it sounds like something worth understanding.

My question is, is there any way we can run a report that will give us the recent performance of every one of our sites' channels (URLs) all on one page, without having to combine channels or run a report for every channel?

All I'm trying to achieve here is to be able to see (at a glance) which pages are performing the best and the worst so I can treat them accordingly.

Last time I checked, you could select any or all of your active channels and display them, listed individually, for any time period you choose. Poke around on the reports page and I think you'll be able to figure it out.

I've finally figured out how to do it.

Go to Advanced Reports
Under Show, select Channel data
Under Active URL Channels, select All
Under Group by, select Channel

It works!
