Inaccurate data sync from GA
- Anonymous4 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
This is expected behavior. The API we're using for Google Analytics is the one available to free users, and that API is known to return less accurate values for high volume sites due to the way it samples data. Unfortunately, the API for Google Analytics Premium customers is significantly different than that for the free users, so we'd need to implement a new connector specifically for Premium in order to get the more accurate values.
I recommend to write down your own connector or use other open-sourced GA connectors, like that
I have also found a similar topic, please refer to it to see if it helps you.

- Go through BigQuery and pull the data into Power BI
connecting from Power BI to BigQuery to pull in the Sessions, will remove the sampling mechanism from taking place and limiting the actual dataset.
