Has there been any word about when a connector to Google Analytics 4 will be available? With Google Analytics UA sunsetting in 2023, there is not a good way to switch between the two. Other posts (see linked below) here have left me wondering if MS intends to do any integration with the next version of GA as the current method is to use a BigQuery instance to pull data from GA4 then into Power BI.

Power BI Google Analytics 4 Connector - Microsoft Power BI Community
GA4 Connector - Microsoft Power BI Community

Idea

Please work on developing a native GA4 connector in Power BI

Hi @electrifiedg ,

If you would like to suggest  feature improvements, you may  vote the idea and comment here  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Best Regards,

Hi, CoorieDug has developed an open source custom connector that might be of use to you until theres an official solution: https://cooriedug.com/custom-ga4-power-bi-connector-setup/

@electrifiedg For what we know until now, it seems like MS is not actually developing a GA4 connector for PBI. I migrated from GA to GA4 a few months ago and were struggling to connect my data. I had to finally do it using 3rd party connectors. I've tried windsor.ai , supemetrics (which doesn't has PBI as a destination, so you first have to export to Google Sheets and then export to PBI) and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options

@sambo345 Thank you for the tip. I will try this method out and see if it works for my company
