Google Analytics from Power BI

I am trying to connect to Google Analytics from Power BI Desktop.

Power BI Desktop is not connecting to Google Analytics. Is there any mistake at my end ?

Am somewhat new to Power BI. 

Also I do not see an app (or content pack) for Google Analytics from Power BI Service.

Has something changed with regards to Google Analytics?

Please let me know.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please make sure you have permissions to the data source. And then try to clear the permission and re-sign in Google Analytics.
