Errors with Google Analytics 2.0 Connector
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.

Thank you, I agree I rebuilt my report and used only one dimension and metric from the Google Analytics 2.0 connector and it still timed out and wouldn't work compared to both Windsor and Looker Studio which worked, with no issues whatsover! So it must be something to do with the Connector rather than Windows 11?? PS I went back to Looker Studio as opposed to Windsor.ai because though it was good it was limited in the free version whereas Looker is free and you can pull in as much data as you want up to the GA4 quota limits 🙂
