Google Analytics no data preview

Hey guys,

 

yesterday I found out that you can connect your Google Analytics easy with power bi. 

 

So I try to connect our Google Analytics with my power by. Information: Im not the admin, only a standard user of this GA. After I connect sucessfully I see our Database, but this database is empty and it says "no elements for preview".

also after I click on this little checkmark-no data is shown.

 

Any thoughts? I try to reach the GA Live chat, but its every time "outside business hours".

 

Thanks

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

When i load google analytics navigator on the right it gives me "No items selected for preview"

On the left it provides some display options where i can collapse some folder/DBs and begin to look into the pieces of data that i want.

According to your  description above, you may be experiencing security related issues for the account you're using to connect to the Google Analytics . A fast and quick way to problem investigate if its security related or not, use an account with SYSADM authority to connect to the Google Analytics to see if you can see tables.😉

 

Hope this helps.
