Wrong ga:users data with dimension=ga:month #731

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Name of affected component: Core Reporting API

HTTP API

Results with the metric=ga:user and dimension=ga:month produces wrong data.

General API call settings:
"start-date": "2015-08-01",
"end-date": "2015-08-31",

Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Make a API call with the metric: ga:users and dimension= ga:date.
2. Make a API call with the metric: ga:users and dimension= ga:month.
3. Compare the totalsForAllResults (or rows value's combined) from step 1 (in 
my case:78749) with the rows from step 2 (in my case:66614)

Expected output:
The totalsForAllResults value from step 1 should match the rows value from step 
2.
The values with dimension= ga:month should match the totalsForAllResults with 
dimension= ga:month.  

Actual results:
There is a big difference. Step 1: 78749, Step 2: 66614. That couldn't 
explained by extra days or hours (Avg value per day: +/- 2000)
