Hi Anonymous,

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

I am able to sign into my google account without issue.

 

I also already tried clearing existing permissions and then re-connecting. Unfortunately this didn't work either.

 

Regards,

Carl

Hi Anonymous,

 

I have found the solution to the problem.

 

1. In the registered google account under 'Sign-in & security' select 'Connected apps & sites'.

2. Select 'MANAGE APPS'.

3. Find Power BI in the list of connect apps, select it and then click 'REMOVE'.

4. Uninstall Power BI Desktop and Reinstall it.

5. Follow the usual connection instructions to connect to Google Analytics.

 

I'm guessing when moving from one machine to another there is a problem with syncing the access tokens generated which causes this issue.

 

Hope this helps somebody else.

 

Carl

    OK, so the above solution worked yesterday.

     

    I've just opened my report and attempted to refresh and I am getting the original error again!

     

    Why is this happening?

      Hi,

       

      I've resolved the problem.

      You have an invalid token when you use your google account on many support.

      Last eveneing, i deleted my account on my personnal computer. Today, i can use the GA connector on my work computer.
