Google Analytics Filter by Year

I am connected to a Google Analytics property and bring in Year, YearMonth, and Users. I am trying to filter by year since GA will not return 10+ years of data. The filter does nothing. It appears to load, but does not return new results or even filter the dataset within Power BI.ga filter exmaple.PNG

Hi @rutgerboll 

Check the data type of column "year",

If it is of type number, please change the "2018" , "2019", to 2018, 2019.

 

Please look at my test below:

Thanks for the suggetion @v-juanli-msft . That does not fix this issue as modifying the datatype interferes with the way Power BI modifise google analytics API calls. If I filter on a time dimension it can/should send a query to GA with the time filter applied. That is not happening with year. 

Hi @rutgerboll 

Is this problem sloved? 

If it is sloved, could you kindly accept it as a solution to close this case?

If not, please let me know.

Hi @rutgerboll 

My solution doesn't need you to change the data type of your data model, just modify your string code below

change "2018" and "2019" to 2018,2019
