Accessing Google Adwords Campaign Via Google Analytics Data Connector

In Power BI Desktop I am using the built-in connector to access my Google Analytics data. For our website we also run Google Adwords campaigns.  

When logging directly into Google Analytics and navigating to 'AdWords' I can see the AdWords Campaign, Ad Group etc, however via the Power BI Connection I can only seem to pull in the 'Ad Group'. Am I missing something, or is this field not available? 

EDIT: Just realised I was not clear, I mean the 'Ad Campaign' field is missing. 

We are pulling AdWords data separately and trying to combine the Analytics and Ad Words data, however many of our Ad Groups have duplicate names (Each campaign had AdGroups with the same name - a practice we are changing) and without the Ad Words Campaign from Analytics I have no way of identifying which campaign each Ad Group came from.

Thanks.

@maracles, according to this article which lists Dimensions & Metrics Explorer in Reporting API V4, only adwordsCampaignID dimension is available and there is no adwordsCampaign. So, there should be a API limitation. According to this article, this should be a better place for you mainly discussing questions related to google-analytics-api. Thanks for your understanding.
