Problems with google analytics 4 connector

[Suzako]

Hi to everyone.

I´m sorry about my english, but im not soo good as well.

Let´s begin the problem.

I´m trying to use the google analytics connector, inside the power bi.

Everything seems work well, but when i´m in the moment where i need to select metrics and dimensions, this happening to me:

I´m trying to select the dimension (source) and the quantity of sessions like metric (sessions).

Does anyone can help to understand?

Thanks and regards!

Hi @Suzako 

You're not doing anything wrong — this issue is not actually related to Power BI itself, but rather a limitation of the Google Analytics 4 API.

GA4 enforces strict rules on how dimensions and metrics can be combined. Some combinations (like sessionSource with sessions) may not be compatible depending on the query structure or the way the API is built. This is a limitation from Google’s side, not Power BI.

Also, GA4 has quota limits — for example:

• 10 concurrent API requests per user

• 50,000 requests per day

• Certain metrics/dimensions require specific configurations or GA4 360 (paid version)

If you’re getting errors when selecting dimensions and metrics, try checking:

1. Whether the metric and dimension are compatible using Google’s GA4 API Dimensions & Metrics Explorer

2. If you're hitting a quota limit, especially if using a free GA4 property

If the issue continues, consider testing a simpler query with just one metric and one dimension to see if it works, and then gradually add more to find the conflict.
