Combining 2 analytics account in one, to have a continued data stream

Analytics Challenge...

I had my analytics account linked to an adwords account for mistake from NOV 25th thru DEC 13th. It has given me the data I need though.

The thing is that I have now linked that analytics account to my new adwords account on DEC 13th, but obviously the data has started fromo zero.

For reports, I need all-time data (from NOV 25th foward). How can I link the data? Im struggling having to add everything up, as everything re-started on DEC 13th.

I hope I was clear enough!

Thanks!

You were clear enough, but as far as I know, there's no way to do this with two different accounts.

If I understand you correctly, you unhooked the old AdWords, and then hooked up the new AdWords to the existing Analytics? I don't think it would keep the old AdWords data then. As far as Google is concerned, you might not have access or permission for that data anymore.

Hopefully you exported lots of CSV files before you switched over - you could merge those.

You could *try* getting an AdWords support person on the phone to help you, but I haven't had a lot of luck with that. Analytics support is pretty sparse. I did get some help once when a customer linked an account to the wrong email, but that was it.

Thanks netmeg!
Actually I have a lot of the past data (all past reports), the thing is that every week I have to write a report that contains all data since the beginning.

Now I have a cut in the middle, so i have to merge those two segments manually.and it is killing me. So linking somehow the account with the last one would've been great to have all historical data on the system and just use the whole segment...
