Google Analytics "Day of the Week" Report - Days 0-6

You can create a custom report in Google Analytics to analyse data by the day of the week. Here's how...

Choose the "Custom Report" tab



Add the metrics you would like to see (I've just added the number of Visitors)

Choose the "Day of week" dimension



The table report will look like this




The days of the week are shown as numbers (just to confuse you :-)
  • 0 = Sunday
  • 1 = Monday
  • 2 = Tuesday
  • 3 = Wednesday
  • 4 = Thursday
  • 5 = Friday
  • 6 = Saturday
You can also view the data in different chart by selecting a different view



For this report I prefer the comarison style, the site below is least popular on a Friday:

  1. Brad, thanks for this clarification I could not find a defintion of "day of the week" anywhere else.

    Do you know if the hour of the day is in my local time or some other time zone?

  2. It should be the same time zone as the one set in the profile settings: http://support.google.com/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1010249
