Why Does Analytics Now Default to Yesterday's Date?

    Hi All

    Analytics was working perfectly until the other day. For some reason, it appeared to miss half a days worth of data. That issue is now resolved, however whenever I log on now, it always defaults to yesterdays date as the last date, instead of today.

    Does anyone know how I go about changing it back, so that Today's data is uncluded in the last month?

    Cheers

    Because there is no point taking stats from a sites traffic that are not complete. Taking today's data is incomplete, yesterdays is complete.

    Hi Jbtooloo,

    I understand that today's data is incomplete, however up until the other day it was defaulting to today's data, and I didnt mind seeing the incomplete data come through as it happened. Now though, it has defaulted to yesterday, and I dont know how to change it back.

    Thanks pixelmarkup. Your post eases my pain somewhat, but it doesnt really solve the issue for either of us.

    Cheers
