Google search analytics position - how is it worked out

[CostumeD]

In our Google search analytic s graphs total clicks and impressions appear as a sold line on the graph(ie showing a result for each day)

Position only shows as an occasional dot or line - not a continuous result for each day) sometimes there are days with no result for position.

How do google get these results

Hi Li

It might help to send over a screenshot. I think I know what you're referring to, but I want to make sure! It'd also help the community!

Thanks!

Have you noticed that some of the lines could mean different things as CTR and the ranking for that position? In other cases, sometimes Google has delays or hiccups in there data, sometimes that could be the cause for empty datapoints for a certain date.

Hi Li! Are you able to provide any more information, or a screenshot? It sounds like that would help get you a good answer.
