Google analytics to Power BI - counters mismatch with adding new metrics

[ChoonW]

I've created a dataset connecting to Google Analytics (GA) via the built-in GoogleApi.

When I create a simple multi Dimension and 1 metric dataset, the number matches with GA counts.

However when I create a data set with multiple metrics and dimensions, the number was slightly different.

Does anyone has came across the same thing and and tips on this?

I saw a solution on this is by creating multiple queries (click here) but wonder if there are any other solution.

thanks.

Hi @ChoonW I know this reply is very late lol but were you able to find a solution? As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the GA connector in the data sources list:

After that, just grant access to your GA account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your GA fields:

There just select the fields you need. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.
