Hi Anonymous as a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party tool. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics and funnel.io.

After that, just grant access to your GA4 account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your GA4 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.

Thanks for the ad, and I'm perfectly aware that there are third party tools (datorama, funnel, adverity, integrator.io, windsor, supermetrics...). There is plenty of third party tools available. It's just incredible that PBI ships with basic connector that is SO broken.
