Google Analytics – How to Get Time on Site

OK. Hang on there, I'll try to be short. There's not an exact way to do this, but here's the thing that most resembles this:

1. Create a custom report
   To do this, open the dashboard report for your site, and in the sidebar click "Custom Reporting -> Manage Custom Reports -> Create new custom report"
2. On the new screen you need to add one metric and one dimension
   Drag and drop a PageViews metric (under the Site Usage category) and a Page dimension (under the Content category). The whole thing should look like this:
3. If you click Preview Report, it should give you pageviews per page, just as you want, but it will be for a predefined period (span of the two latest weeks)
4. Open the dropdown in the upper left corner to select a different time period, click the Timeline tab, then check the "Compare to past" checkbox. Fill in the periods you need to compare and click Apply.
5. The report should give you page views for the periods you have chosen (per page) and a percentage change between the respective periods

The downside to all of this is that you have to select periods every time you view the report, because there's no way to hardcode a period. The other disadvantage is that you can compare only two periods. I'm not aware of any way to overcome this, but I hope this helps a bit.

I found your post as I was searching for the same answer.

I think I've figured it out, using custom reporting.

1. Go to Google analytics Custom reporting (rather than Standard reporting)
2. Create a new report, with title and tab name.
3. Add metric groups (might as well add both visits and unique visitors)
4. Add Dimension Drill downs (I chose Browser, and then secondary: Browser version)
5. Now in the filters area, apply the Advanced segment details
6. Hit Save, then switch the explorer view to pie chart.

Hope that helps. It did for me.

But I agree with you, I think it should show the 100% of the segment you're on. Or at least give an option to switch to that view.
