But, of course, we could also do all those things in the report itself, and it's much easier there. We could do a lot in this step - add new fields, duplicate existing ones, turn them off, change field values, etc. You'll be presented with something like the view below: a list of every field in your Analytics account (both the standard ones and the ones you've added).ĭoes this feel overwhelming? Yep, same here. Once you've done that, you'll need to select an account, property, and view. You'll be prompted to authorize the connection. If you want to follow along exactly with what I'm doing, connect the Google Analytics Demo Account for the Google Merchandise Store. In this example, I'll connect Analytics - however, the process is nearly identical for other sources. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to connect data sources to Google Data Studio.ġ.

The report gallery is a collection of templates and examples you can use depending on your business needs.įor instance, if you run an ecommerce store, the ecommerce revenue template would be very useful.Īnd here's where you add data sources.

You don't want to edit the chart in the report, so you export it into Labs - where you can tweak it to your heart's content.
While looking at this table, you think, "Huh, I wonder what I'd find if I added average page load time." So if you have three GA views for three different subdomains, you'll need to set up three separate data sources.Įxplorer is an experimental tool that lets you experiment or tweak a chart without modifying your report itself.įor instance, let's say you've created a table in Data Studio that shows the top landing pages by conversion rate.
If you're using Google Analytics and/or Search Console (which I highly recommend), you'll need to individually connect each view and property, respectively.
