Google Analytics Connector -> No connection

[EnSe]

Hello @ all,

I just tried to connect our Google Analytics account to the Power-BI Desktop application using my personal GA-Credentials (with sufficient permissions). Unfortuantely the connections does not get established correctly. Eventough the connector accepts the credentials and it seems that we get access to the GA account, the properties and the corresponding data are not loaded. 

Does anyone know something about that issue or can advice some solution?

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Hi @EnSe were you able to find a solution? I used the GA native connector but had some issues with my data sometimes. 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.

Hi @EnSe ,

What's the error message? Try clearing the credentials and reconnecting to the data source to see if the problem still exists.
