Spot the metrics that need your attention at a glance. Color-coded formatting makes significant increases and drops impossible to miss during weekly reviews. Customize thresholds and colors to match your reporting standards.

Δ% Share Change

Understand not just what changed, but whether a channel is gaining or losing its share of the total. Essential for budget allocation decisions and spotting emerging trends before they become obvious.

Quick Calculated Metric

Build rate columns like conversions/sessions directly in your report. No Admin access required, no waiting on your analytics team to configure it. Save your favorites for instant reuse.

Date Range Presets

Stop clicking through the calendar picker every single time. One-click buttons for Last 7 Days, Month-over-Month, Year-over-Year, and more. Includes a Compare button with three modes for accurate period-over-period analysis.

Exit Pages Report

GA4 removed the Exits metric from the Report Builder UI, but your data still has it. This feature instantly generates a Standard Report pre-filled with Exits, Views, and Bounce Rate so you can find where users are dropping off without building a custom Exploration.

500 Rows per Page

See the full picture without paginating. GA4 caps you at 250 rows; this doubles it so you can scan all your pages, events, or campaigns at once. Ideal for large reports where you need everything visible.

Exploration View Enhancer

Reclaim your screen space. Collapse side panels, jump to 500 rows with Shift+M, and navigate pages with keyboard shortcuts instead of digging through settings. Auto-maximize on load is also available.

% of Column Total

Instantly see how much each row contributes to the total on hover. No calculator or export needed. Perfect for quick contribution analysis during stakeholder meetings.

Detailed Results Shortcut

Get more accurate data with one keyboard shortcut. Reduces sampling so your numbers actually reflect reality. No more wondering if that dip is real or just a sampling artifact.

AB Test Comparison

Know whether your test results are real. Automatic statistical significance and sample ratio mismatch checks save you from acting on noise. Just name your segments with the VAR- prefix and the math is done for you.

Date Range Override

Analyze any time period on shared Explorations without waiting for the owner to update the dates for you. Pick your dates, hit Apply, and GA4 fetches fresh data. Session-only, never modifies the original.

Line Chart Color Customization

Make your charts presentation-ready. GA4 Exploration line charts default to all blue, making it difficult to differentiate elements. Override this instantly with custom colors so you can easily spot what you're looking for.

Workflow & UI Fixes

Click to Copy

Stop retyping values into spreadsheets. Click any cell, header, or label and it's on your clipboard instantly. Configure single, double, and triple-click behaviors to match your workflow.

Sticky Header

Never lose track of which column you're reading. Headers stay pinned as you scroll through long reports. No need to constantly scroll back and forth.

Highlight Sampling

Know when your data is unreliable before you make decisions on it. A pulsing icon alerts you the moment sampling kicks in, so you never present inaccurate numbers to stakeholders.

Custom Definitions Copy/Paste

Setting up a new property? Copy all your dimensions, metrics, and calculated metrics from an existing one in seconds instead of recreating them manually. Automatically skips duplicates and shows real-time progress.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Click to Copy feature allows you to quickly copy values from table cells, headers, or dimension labels in both Explorations and Standard Reports, making it easier to export data to spreadsheets or presentations.

This is a powerful tool for conversion rate optimization (CRO) that compares metrics between test variations in your Exploration reports. It automatically calculates statistical significance and checks for sample ratio mismatch (SRM) to validate your test results. Segments must be named with a VAR- prefix for it to work.

This feature adds one-click buttons for common date ranges and comparison periods (like "Last 7 Days" or "Month-over-Month") to the standard GA4 reports, saving you from manually selecting dates in the calendar every time. It also includes a Compare button with three modes: vs. Previous Period, vs. Last Year, and vs. Last Year (Day of Week Aligned) for accurate year-over-year comparisons.

The Exploration View Enhancer is a suite of three tools for Freeform Explorations: Collapsible Panels to hide the Variables and Tab Settings panels for more screen space; Maximize View (Shift+M shortcut) to instantly set 500 rows and 20 column groups; and Pagination Controls with a floating bar and keyboard shortcuts (Alt+arrows) to navigate large datasets without opening the Settings panel.

Use the Custom Definitions Copy/Paste feature on the Admin > Custom definitions page. Click the Copy button on the source property, then navigate to the destination property and click Paste. It supports custom dimensions, custom metrics, and calculated metrics, automatically skips duplicates, and shows real-time progress. Requires Editor or Administrator role on both properties.

This feature adds a 500 option to the Rows per page dropdown in Standard Reports, which normally maxes out at 250. Enable it in the popup under the Reports tab, then open any Standard Report, scroll to the bottom, and select 500 from the dropdown. Ideal for large reports where you need the full picture without paginating.

The Quick Calculated Metric feature lets you create temporary or saved calculated metrics on-the-fly. In Standard Reports, it adds a new interactive column. In Explorations, it enhances tooltips with calculated rates when you right-click a metric header. You can save metrics to your personal library and choose to auto-apply them.

This feature instantly generates a new Standard Report template pre-filled with Exits, Views, and Bounce Rate metrics, using Page Path as the primary dimension. It provides a crucial workaround since the "Exits" metric is not available in the standard GA4 Report Builder UI. You can access it from the extension popup when on any GA4 property page.

Date Range Override lets you change the date range on read-only shared Explorations that GA4 normally locks. An "Edit Date" button appears in the Variables panel, letting you pick any start and end date and reload the data. The override is session-only and never modifies the original shared report. It also supports comparison date ranges if the original Exploration had one active.

Advanced Table Filter brings back Universal Analytics-style filtering to GA4 Standard Reports. You can set conditions like "Views > 10,000" or "Page path contains /shop" and GA4 returns only matching rows. Combine multiple conditions with AND logic. Look for the "Advanced" button in the table controls bar next to Search and Rows per page.

GA4 strips annotations from Explorations, but this feature brings them back. Colored dots appear on line chart x-axes at annotation dates, and a toolbar button opens a full scrollable list. Annotations are color-coded to match your GA4 Standard Reports colors, and you can assign custom labels to each color in Settings.
