chanage google analytics account connection desktop

Hi

 

I'm french marketing manager and I would like to make 2 differents dashbords with 2 differents google analytics accounts.

I connected power bi desktop with the first google analytics account. It works good, no problem.

The problem is that I can't connect with an other one. When I try to, it is automaticaly connected with my firt account ! That problem doesn't exist with power bi online. I really don't understand. I even uninstall and reinstall the software... it is still connected with my first Google Analytics account :smileyfrustrated:

How can I do ??? please help me !!!

Tanks

    By default, Power BI Desktop will cache the credential for third party service like Google Analytics. You can clear the data source for first loging GA account.

     

     

     

    When you "get data" from Google Analytics again, you should be able to swith other account.

      Hi,

      this worked so far, but then underlying in the query I have to change the Google number to the new propertynr.

      When I work this through, I get an error: the import 9221..... matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?

       

      So should there be an export first, from the new property?

       

      What I want is make 1 dashboard, and copy that one for other accounts I have,
