Back up Custom Reports with Custom Tables
This feature is only available to Analytics 360 accounts. Learn more about Analytics 360.
If you have a high volume of data, your Custom Reports may return sampled results. To ensure the accuracy and precision of Custom Report data, we recommend that each important Custom Report (specifically, those used to report/analyze critical business metrics) be backed by a Custom Table. Custom Tables can be used to aggregate critical data sets on a daily basis, ensuring 100% unsampled data in reporting.
