Problems accessing Google Analytics 4 proprieties

Good afternoon.

 

I started a project involving Google Analytics data and when I connect using the default connector, just the Universal Analytic Property is showing.

 

As you can see on the images, I have three properties on Google Analytics, but just one is shown.

 

Please, someone could indicate what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

P.S.: I couldn't post the images. I tried using Google Drive, OneDrive, and AWS S3 addresses.

Hi @v-yetao1-msft ,

 

I have tested the links and I could see the images, but I did a research and in fact, the new Google Analytics 4 is incompatible with the Power BI Google Analytics connector available on Power BI Desktop by default.

 

I found a paid (and expensive) connector and the solution was to do a downgrade and return to the use of Universal Analytics.

 

In my research, I found more people with the same problem.

 

Now the question is "when Microsoft will update the default Google Analytics Connector".

 

Regards,

Hi, now the beta 2.0 connector is compatible with GA4 data too but seems like that one is still presenting some issues. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the GA4 connector in the data sources list:

After that, just grant access to your GA4 account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your GA4 fields:

There just select the fields you need. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.

Would be great if we can see this connector anytime soon 🙂

@EmanuelTavares Indeed! We've been waiting on their response for many months now. How long does this feature have to be in beta, when they definitely have a much more enhanced Copilot to resolve their development work.
