Hi mady90 ,

The Google Analytics content pack and the connector in Power BI Desktop rely on the Google Analytics Core Reporting API. As such, features and availability may vary over time.

The connector is a Third-Party Service, it warns about how features and availability may change over time, and other clarifications when you use it in power bi desktop.

About changing APIs:

Although we attempt to release updates in accordance with any changes, the API may change in a way that affects the results of the queries we generate. In some cases, certain queries may no longer be supported. Due to this dependency we cannot guarantee the results of your queries when using this connector.

More details on changes to the Google Analytics API can be found in their changelog.
