Connect to Google Analytics data

Hi everyone,

i have a problem trying to import Google Analytics data in Power BI Desktop.

When I connect with admin Google credentials in Power BI, the base appears, but this error appears, for each Google Analytics view

I followed the "official" guide: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/it-it/blog/power-bi-google-analytics-power-analytics/ and read the various community topic.
But i can't figure out.

Please tell me if you need additional information (PBI Desktop version, GA version, etc.)

Thanks for the help!!

Giuseppe

Solved.

I have to select a measure (es. Pageviews) and at least one metric (es. Page Title)

Hi @PSamprasIn case you have any issue; as a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics (which doesn't have PBI as a destination, so you first have to export to Google Sheets and then export to PBI) and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options.
