Google analytics to Power BI - counters mismatch with adding new metrics and dimensions
I am working on GA reporting metrics in Power BI via reporting API. While I create a query with some very basic attributes like sessions and users, I get same values as I can see directly in google ...
- Hi there I have had the same issue. And it appears to be because you are using the GA cube that when you put in certain metrics it is cross referencing the data, which causes the numbers to inflate.
What I did was to have different queries where the data matches GA.
It did take me some time to read through the GA definitions to understand what the one value was which was causing the numbers to inflate. As soon as I put those metrics into their own query (table) everything matched back to GA.
