PowerBi Google Analytics Content Pack

Hi,

The last time I looked into this, you could not do this in PowerBI Desktop.

However, when trying to access the 'Content Pack' via the desktop or in PowerBI.com, I cannot get this to work!

Around 3 years ago, I just go online, connect to the google analytics content pack and boom - it all works.

I need your assistance please.

Thanks!

Hi @SachinC,

#1, I'm not so sure which one should be the best selection, I'd like to suggest you choose them based on your requirements.

#2, Connector apps are template app that shares with report design and contents layout based on parameterized connection strings. (visual design and layout are design by app provider but Datasource and credentials are configured by yourself, similar as ppt template) These operations are configured and confirmed by yourself so it should not case the data privacy issues.

Probably you can try to manually create your own GA report based on google analytics connector, you can take a look at following link about template app to know more about this:

Ok, understood. There are two apps available for Google Analytics.

My concerns are:

  1. Which one gives the best data 'look and feel' for UTM (source/medium) reporting?

  2. Are there any data privacy risks?

On a final note, are there any other options for looking at custom Google Anlaytics reports?

Thanks!
