Unable to connect to Google Analytics

oanam — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 09:00:41 GMT

Hi,

I get this error script when trying to connect to Google analytics in PowerBi ->Get data.

I uninstalled, reinstalled PowerBI, cleared cache, placed as default browser Microsoft Edge and Google respectively, signed out of my account in PowerBi, restarted my laptop, but nothing improved. Please help?

Thank you,

Oana

HI @oanam,

I test on my side but can't reproduce your issue.

I think these should more relate to your network and software environment. What version of the power bi desktop are you test? Have you checked the device policy and whitelist to confirm if they block the requests?

Thank you! It is definitely something related to network security and wifi. When I connect to my hotspot mobile data I can sign in, no problem, but when I use the wifi to sign in, the script errors posted by me above appear. I did look into all security settings, I lowered them, added 2step authenticator on GA so that it marks this wifi and IP as secure, but no change.

Is there a way to force in the sign in somehow when the Google Analytics sign-in shows up from PowerBi?

I use this version of PowerBi which I think it is the most recent one Version: 2.91.884.0 64-bit (March 2021)

Hi @oanam,

If you success login to the data source, these credentials will store on the local device, I think power bi will use the stored credentials for refresh operations. If you do not change the data source, they may not be required to invoke the sign-in panel again.

>>When I connect to my hotspot mobile data I can sign in, no problem, but when I use the wifi to sign in, the script errors posted by me above appear.

It sounds like the issue related to your network device. You can also ask your IT to check the network device configures if they enabled any policies or their configurations block the requests.
