Hey community!

Does anyone know why Instagram Insights are showcasing incorrect data in my Looker Studio doc?

Ie. For two different time periods (one last year, one this year) data is staying the exact same. In simple terms I am trying to showcase the increase in account followers across two different time periods.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Hi @maryan, Profile Followers is a lifetime metric and will always show the current value for each account you select.

In order to display follower changes over time, you would need some sort of storage solution (i.e. Google Sheets or data warehouse) where you could store each day’s value, enabling you to calculate the differences over time.


Thank you Michael! I thought it would be a more manual process. Appreciate your help
