Errors with Google Analytics 2.0 Connector
- 2 years ago
Hi dreamerz Seems like the 2.0 beta connector is still presenting some issues. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool, I use this option is I was facing some issues from time and time and with this I haven't had any error so far, so I think I'll use at least until 2.0 gets improved. About options out there, 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.
Hi dreamerz
The timed out error may be caused by hitting some resource limit or query limit at the Google Analytics side. It probably doesn't have enough time to complete the query. Please check if it's related to any limits listed in the following documentation:
Power Query Google Analytics connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
Limits and Quotas on API Requests | Analytics Management API | Google for Developers
