Is there any way I can exclude paid search from channel graphics in Google Analytics?

Question

I am using Google Analytics and also Google Adwords. How can I adjust the graphics view to show traffic from all channels except paid search?

I can view each of them alone and sum up the results with calculator, but that is not ideal.

Create a segment to show the data you want. For example, New Segment > Traffic Sources > Medium > [whatever channels you want]

Or, as pointed out in comments, Advanced Segment > Conditions > Source / Medium 'does not contain' google / cpc.

Thanks for help. Why did Google made it so hard to find? Or something wrong with me? Could not find for two years until ask on Stack... – naneri Mar 2 '16 at 16:43

A far more efficient way to remove PPC data would be to create an Advanced Segment > Conditions > Source / Medium ' does not contain' google / cpc. That will show all data except traffic from Adwords. – Double Clicked Mar 2 '16 at 16:44
@Daveth3Cat That does sound better. – GDav Mar 2 '16 at 17:22
