Sampled data from Google Analytics

Hi, I posted this as a reply to a related thread but didn't get a response and was hoping someone might be able to help.

 

What is the best way to reduce the GA data sample size before getting it into PBI?  All I want to see is dates and channels as the dimensions, but as it's pulling through all dates ever before I even have chance to do any transformation I'm having to work with sampled data - what is the best way to get around this?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Applying view filters or fegments to flow visualization reports can reduce the sampled data size.

 

You can reference “Sampling and Multi-Channel Funnel reports “ and “Sampling and flow visualization reports” part in article below for details:

If you want to know more about how to Adjust the sampling rate in reports , you can reference this article:

Best Regards

Alex
