Hi @opta13stats 

The error message displays that the account is not found in the data source, please check that is the field is existed in your data source, then you can try to clear the data source permission from the Power BI Desktop, then connect the data source again, you can remove the permission from the settings in Power BI Desktop.' File->Options and Settings->Data source settings" then remove the permission.

Hi @opta13stats In case this happens to you again, as a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool. 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 GA4 connector in the data sources list:

After that, just grant access to your GA4 account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your GA4 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.
