How to find the Google Analytics Profile ID?

This is the ID of the view and needs to be inputted as the ids in the format ga:1234567890, having ga: as a prefix, as per the below.

Things to be careful with Google Analytics
Pre-computed metrics can e.g. include deduplication of users to get to unique users for a timeframe. E.g. a comparison of the last seven days total users vs. daily users per each day individually and then summed up, yields different results. The reason is that a user who visits the page every day will be counted once in the first instance and seven times in the second one.
To avoid this, the time granularity should be the same to the data being displayed.
