Google Analytics is a powerful tool.
There are so many screens, features, tools, filters, searches, etc. For the heavy data cruncher, it’s always nice to have a set of shortcuts for quick execution of common tasks. In case you couldn’t find it on the Google Analytics Blog, we laid them out for you.
Here are a list of keyboard shortcuts in Google Analytics:
Date Range Shortcuts
d t | Set date range to TODAY |
d y | Set date range to YESTERDAY |
d w | Set date range to LAST WEEK |
d m | Set date range to LAST MONTH |
d c | Toggle date comparison mode (to the previous period of whatever you are looking at. Example, if you’re looking at 6 days, this will compare it to the 6 days before it) |
d x | Toggle date comparison mode (to the previous year of the period you are looking at) |
Application Shortcuts
? | Open keyboard shortcut help |
h | Search help center |
a | open account panel |
shift + a | Go to account list |
s / | Search reports |
shift + d | Go to the default dashboard of the current profile |
Some of them not working? If you’re a genius like me, it’s probably because you pressed one of the keys on accident and it took you to the search box. Make sure you are out of the search box when you try these.
