Discrepency between Google analytics connector and google analytics
Hi Everyone, Has anybody used the Google analytics connector in Power BI. I am using it to do reporting on our Intranet. But I am running into discrepancy issues between GA and the GA connector in Po...
Hi Greg, thanks for your reply. I did do my research and I agree that the second post does make a lot of sense, But sampling is only supposed to happen if you cross the 500k session threshold. In that case, the second solution would be helpful. But, I am running into discrepency issues with 7 days worth of data where I don't cross the threshold set by Google Analytics. This is the part that I don't understand. Is there an issue with the connector, the way it is calling and using the Core reporting API?. Or is it an issue with the documentation.
- Well, my understanding of the issue is that Google changes their core reporting API fairly frequently so since the Microsoft connectors and such rely on this core reporting API, when changes are made there can end up being discrepancies. Now, that's the official line as I understand it.
