I hacked a few lines onto this to make it show the previous 3 calendar months prior to today. Seems to work but I didn’t test the year subtraction bit strenuously.

var url = window.location.href;
var urlParam = “&pdr=”;

var today = new Date();
var day = today.getDate().toString();
var month = (today.getMonth() + 1).toString();
var year = today.getFullYear().toString();
var start_year = today.getFullYear().toString();
var start_month = (today.getMonth() – 2).toString();
var todaysRange;

if(day < 10)
day = '0' + day;

if(month < 10)
month = '0' + month;

if(start_month < 1){
start_month = start_month + 12;
start_year = start_year – 1;}

if(start_month < 10)
start_month = '0' + start_month;

var todaysRange = start_year + start_month + day + '-' + year + month + day;

if(url.indexOf(urlParam) < 0)
window.location.href += '&pdr=' + todaysRange;

@Cole

After line 14 (var today = new Date();) add the following line:

today.setDate(today.getDate()-1);

to turn Analytics Today into Analytics Yesterday!

How could this script be modified to show YESTERDAY instead of TODAY?

Hey, love the user script!

I’m making a firefox extension to compile a bunch of GA user scripts together and was wondering if I could get permission from you to add this script to the extension?

Let me know,
Thanks,
Erik Vold

The bug has been fixed!

** The userscript file and source code have now been updated

It appears as if Google has modified their URL slightly. Applying Analytics Today to:

“https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting*”

instead of

“https://www.google.com/analytics/reporting/dashboard*”

should do the trick.

(Tools -> Greasemonkey -> Manage User Scripts -> Click on Analytics Today in the left column -> Edit the URL in the Included Pages section)

**The download and source code have now been modified

This was exactly what I was looking for to track my new blog, http://greasypc.blogspot.com, and my other sites. I feel like I’ve wasted so much time and worn out my wrist having to constantly change the date range.
