    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    When the refreshed data source is too large, it may cause refresh timeout.

     

    First, you need to download the latest version of powerbi desktop. When the date range is large, only a subset of the data will be returned. If you want to get more or even all the data, you need to append multiple queries with different date ranges.

    There are two options to get more data.

    let
        Source = GoogleAnalytics.Accounts(),
        #"<ID>" = Source{[Id="<ID>"]}[Data],
        #"UA-<ID>-1" = #"<ID>"{[Id="UA-<ID>-1"]}[Data],
        #"<View ID>" = #"UA-<ID>-1"{[Id="<View ID>"]}[Data],
        #"Added Items" = Cube.Transform(#"<View ID>",
            {
                {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:source", {"ga:source"}, {"Source"}},
                {Cube.AddMeasureColumn, "Users", "ga:users"}
            })
    in
        #"Added Items"

    without data column

    let
          Source = GoogleAnalytics.Accounts(),
          #"<ID>" = Source{[Id="<ID>"]}[Data],
          #"UA-<ID>-1" = #"<ID>"{[Id="UA-<ID>-1"]}[Data],
          #"<View ID>" = #"UA-<ID>-1"{[Id="<View ID>"]}[Data],
          #"Added Items" = Cube.Transform(#"<View ID>",
              {
                  {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:date", {"ga:date"}, {"Date"}},
                  {Cube.AddAndExpandDimensionColumn, "ga:source", {"ga:source"}, {"Source"}},
                  {Cube.AddMeasureColumn, "Organic Searches", "ga:organicSearches"}            
             }),
          #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Items", each [Date] >= #date(2019, 9, 1) and [Date] <= #date(2019, 9, 30))
       in
          #"Filtered Rows"
