Standard Universal Analytics properties will not be able to process data after July 1, 2023. You will not be able to process any new data that you attempt to collect in your Universal Analytics property. Nonetheless, you will continue to have access to the processed data for at least six more months after that date.

You will not be able to access your Universal Analytics reports via the Analytics interface after the six-month period or get your Universal Analytics data using the API. Consequently, switching to Google Analytics 4 is highly advised if you want to guarantee uninterrupted data processing.

By switching to Google Analytics 4, you will be able to take advantage of its sophisticated monitoring and reporting features, which will give you more precise and in-depth insights into the operation of your website.

Getting Ready For GA4: Saving Your Historical Data

How can I export data from my Universal Analytics property?

Until July 1, 2023, you can continue to use and collect new data in your Universal Analytics properties. After July 1, 2023, you can access your previously processed data in your Universal Analytics property for at least six months. We know your data is important to you, and we strongly encourage you to export your historical reports during this time.

Unfortunately, migrating your data to GA4 is not currently possible (and not likely to come) because the two versions are fundamentally different data models. There are a few DIY solutions for saving your historical data, but the outputs are relatively bare-bones. Here are currently the ways to export data from your Universal Analytics property.

Export individual reports into the following formats:

  • CSV
  • TSV
  • TSV for Excel
  • EXCEL (XLSX)
  • GOOGLE SHEETS
  • PDF

If you need help, contact us to offer more guidance on data export as we approach the date when Universal Analytics is no longer available.
