Using Google Analytics in T-Trendset 1.1February 20, 2011

Overview

T-Trendset 1.1 was designed specifically for Google Analytics

T-Trendset 1.1 does not have the functionality and analytical structure to replace Google Analytics

It is simply a vehicle for displaying beautiful and powerful reports based on data obtained from Google Analytics

This documentation will show you how to use Google Analytics in T-Trendset 1.1, specifically for web visitors data

The procedures here are currently based on the Google Analytics system through February 20, 2011

This documentation also makes the assumption that the user already has a Google account

year of 2010

Get the Data

Click the Export button above the Visitors Overview

Click CSV for Excel in the submenu


Save the File

Instead of opening the file, click Save File and then OK


Make sure you know the location of the saved file

Load the Data


Open the File

In most cases, you can double-click on the saved .csv file and Excel opens it automatically


If Excel does not open for you when you double click the .csv, start Excel manually and start a new file (Ctrl-N)

Open File from Excel

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-O to open a file


We are using Microsoft Excel 2007

Make sure you have Text Files selected as

the file type

Import the Text to Excel

Make sure you have Delimited selected as the data description

From here, you can just click Finish


Transfer the Data


Open Trendset 1.1

Click the Go to Data Page link at the top of the summary

If no data is on the data page, dummy data is used to populate the summary

Get the Data from the Text Import

Press Ctrl-F6 until you get to your imported file from Google Analytics like below


Select the Data

Only select the dates and visitors from the Graph section and press Ctrl-C for copy


Important Note:The Day in column A must be in the following format for Trendset 1.1 to work:

Weekday, Month Day, Year

If your dates do not appear in this format, you will need to try Trendset 1.0

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Paste the Data

Return to Trendset 1.1 and paste the data in the Data tab


Paste the data starting in row 7 and column A

The Data tab is protected, but you can easily unprotect it because a password is not required

Check Out the Summary

The Summary is Now Updated


Next Steps

This summary page does not allow you to select specific date ranges, such as 1/1/2010 to 1/15/2010, which is a future endeavor of ours
