Google Analytics data update interval

I keep track of my blog usage by using google analytics . A very good tool that gives a huge amount of data and very good reporting, but what bothers me is that you always have to wait about a day till the data gets updated. A very simple trick gives instant data updates – simply click on the field where you set the time interval, go to the timeline mode and drag the slider all the way to the right. Your done. the stats should now be up to date.

    Where is the field where you set the time interval with the slider that you refer to? I just installed google analytics on my site and I can’t find this setting. Thanks!
