Question

For some reason my custom variables are not showing up in my Google Analytics reports (Visitors > Custom Variables > “There is no data for this view”) even after 24 hours.

Anybody see what I’m missing?

I downloaded the Google Analytics Debugger (by Google) Chrome Extension and got the following report.

_gaq.push processing : "[_setAccount,UA-example-1]"

Answer 1

It works, apparently it takes a little longer for Custom Variables to show up in the reports. Thanks @yahelc
