If you have limited access to data in a report or exploration, it may be because a data threshold has been applied. Data thresholds are applied to prevent anyone viewing a report or exploration from inferring the identity or sensitive information of individual users based on demographics, interests, or other signals present in the data.
What you'll see
When the data in a report or exploration is limited due to data thresholds, the data quality indicator at the top of the report includes the message, "Google Analytics has applied thresholding to one or more cards in this report and will only display the data in the cards when the data meets the minimum aggregation thresholds."
When data thresholds are applied
Demographics data
Data may be withheld when viewing a report or exploration or making an API call that includes demographic data or audiences defined using demographic data.
Search query information
If a report or exploration includes search query information, the row containing that data may be withheld if there aren’t enough total users.
What you can do
While you can't adjust data thresholds, you can make the following changes to decrease the likelihood of thresholds appearing:
Adjust the date range
Data may be withheld when viewing a report or exploration within a narrow date range if you have low user or event counts in that date range. Expanding the date range may increase the number of users who triggered an event, enabling you to see the previously thresholded data.
Export to BigQuery
Analytics doesn't export data from Google signals to BigQuery. You may see different event counts per user between Analytics and BigQuery.
