  Ranu Jain: Hi people,
  
  I have updated my site's Google Analytics code to make data available for Demographic reports.I have enabled the option for Demographics and Interests Reports but still don't see any data in the Analytics. I am getting this message : "Some data in this report may have been removed when a threshold was applied."
  
  Can anyone help in solving this issue?
  
  TIA  ;:)

  Dave Elliott: No idea why it says about the threshold thing, mine says the same. When did you set it up? It took a couple of days for me to get any demographic info through for me.
• 
  bharat thakare: It usually takes 12-24 hours for the demographics data to be available. Check your analytics code to ensure that its modified as expected. Threshold is applied to prevent recipient of the data from inferring individual characteristics of a single visitor. I think you should wait for a day or two and check back again.

  Ranu Jain: Hi Dave and  ;Bharat,
  
  I implemented the modified code (ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’) + ‘stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js’;)around 18 days back but didtnt see the results.
  
  Later I observed that under tracking code info, the tracking code is completely different than the old one (not the modified code). ;
  
  Then I replaced the modified code with this tracking code 3days back. ;
  
  I am still unable to see the data. Also, how come the tracking info showing different analytics code? ;

  Dave Elliott: are you using universal analytics or classic?  ;This looks like the universal code and from what you are saying it sounds like you should still be suing the classic code, which will look like this.
  
  <script type="text/javascript">
  
   ; var _gaq = _gaq || [];
   ; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx');
   ; _gaq.push(['_trackPageview');
  
   ; (function() {
   ;  ; var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
   ;  ; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js';
   ;  ; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
   ; })();
  
  </script>

  Ranu Jain: Currently, I am using Universal Analytics code on my website i.e.
  
   ; <script>
   ; (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
   ; (i[r].q=i[r].q||[).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
   ; m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
   ; })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
  
   ; ga('create', 'UA-4004065-1', 'vinfotech.com');
   ; ga('send', 'pageview');
  
  </script>
  
  For fetching demographics data, do I need to use the modified classic analytics code?
• 
  Dave Elliott: ahh in that case no, don't use the code i gave.
• 
  Ranu Jain: Then which code to use? I had read that to get Demographics data, we need to replace  ;
  
  "ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘http://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;"
  
  with
  
  ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://’ : ‘http://’) + ‘stats.g.doubleclick.net/dc.js’;
