Hi jbuzaglu Seems like the 2.0 beta connector is still presenting some issues. I hope it'll be fixed soon but since the GA4 connector was developed it's always presented some problems. I had issues many times with my connection or my data. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool. 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 G4 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.
