The Basics of Working with Analytics

This section describes basic activities that can be performed with Analytics such as creating reports and adding graphs to reports.

There is a limit of 10 million rows per report created from Export > Data > Excel/CSV/Tab delimiter. If your report fails with the error Max Row Limit Exceeded, it is recommended to add additional filters to make the report smaller.
There is a limit of 2 million cells per formatted report created from Export > Formatted > Excel. If your report fails with the error Max Row Limit Exceeded, it is recommended to add additional filters or remove columns to make the report smaller.
When using a report output as input data, the limit of the size of the input report is the same limit as all reports: 10 million rows per report. See Using Report Output as Input Data.
When filtering by a field value, there is a limit of 65,000 values when using the In/Equal to operator. You can avoid this limitation in DV by using a data set with the values.
For reports in Narrative View, the limit is 500,000 rows.
Do not use special characters (for example: ' , & /) as part of report or folder names, as some functionality will not work.
