I am trying to use Google Analytics on Power BI.
But unable to add more metrics.
Sessions, Events and Geo location have been added.
But when I try to add other metrics like Device/OS etc, My request does not get loaded.
This is the error -
DataSource.Error: Requested 12 dimensions; only 7 are allowed.
Details:
DataSourceKind=GoogleAnalytics
DataSourcePath=GoogleAnalytics
error=Record
How do I get more dimension access. I understand Google API's are being limited, but is there any other way to include all the dimensions?
Trying to create a live dashboard for Google Analytics.
@moreruckus,
These limits are imposed by the Core Reporting API for Google Analytics, I would recommend you consult Google Analytics support.
In addition, to create live dashboard for Google Analytics, please check my reply in this similar thread.
Regards,
Lydia
