Errors with Google Analytics 2.0 Connector
Hi dreamerz Seems like the 2.0 beta connector is still presenting some issues. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool, I use this option is I was facing some issues from time and time and with this I haven't had any error so far, so I think I'll use at least until 2.0 gets improved. About options out there, 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 GA4 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.
Thank you for the reply - it is a valid point however, GA4 API quota is definitely not reached within the report i've built. I tested with a blank report, 1 dimension and 1 metric and still the same error occurs.
An update to the error:
> When in Windows 10, the same report does not have any issues with refreshing the data.
> As for Windows 11, PowerBi Desktop was uninstalled and reinstalled - same errors appeared.
> Error consistently serves a 400 JSON error when refreshing the data. When I jump into data transform, remove the date filter, the tables then show all the latest data as if it has successfully refreshed but as soon as I select 'close and apply', the load takes a while and then serves a googleanlaytics timed out error.
