Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Request summary:
Currently analytics API provide different filter operator for dimension and 
metrics where dimensions doesnt have greater than or less than operators for 
filtering information. While this is not possible for data like source, medium 
etc. but it is important for below dimensions.

1. Count of visits
2. Day since last visit
3. Days to transaction
4. Hour of the day
5. Page Depth
6. Visit Duration

Use Cases:
If I want to get visits which lasted for more than 150 seconds, the only way is 
to use advance segments. But for large clients advance segments are also an 
issue.

All dimensions are represented as strings. You can use filters on the string 
values.

Hi Nick,

I understand that all dimension are represented as strings. What I am asking is 
more filter operators for those strings.

For e.g. If I want to have a report of visit duration > 150, I can use advance 
segment for it, but I cant use filters since filter operators doesnt include 
greater than or less than condition type.

my request is just to add filter operators if possible on strings (dimension) 
as they are available in advance segment.

Best,
Ravi Pathak
