google ads to power bi help

[shahid_tanmoy]

Hi there, 

I need to report on google adwords and there is no connector available, there is one for google analytics but the google ads data in there is messy and is missing information. 

Besides paying for a third party service that I know does it, has anyone figured out a way to connect?

Im looking at methodologies like REST API but have no clue to even begin to do that lol.

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Namaste,

Hi @shahid_tanmoy I know this reply is very late. Since there’s no built-in connector for Google Ads to PBI anymore, you will have to look for another way. As a workaround, maybe you can use a 3rd party connector, it can save you a lot of time compared to other options. I've tried windsor.ai, supermetrics 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 Google Ads connector in the data sources list:

After that, just grant access to your Google Ads account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your Gads 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.
