Google Analytics Connector Data Error

[Anonymous]

Hello,

My team and I created a wonderful Power BI report that brings together Google Analytics and CRM data. We discovered today, however, that our Unique Pageviews field is not accurate compared to Unique Pageviews on GA. My team is devastated.

We want to show the following fields: Unique Pageviews, Avg. Time on Page, Exit % (and if possible Bounce Rate)

with the dimensions Page and Date,

so we can create graphs of a Page's Unique Pageviews over Time, etc.

We pulled all this information into one table. We realized today, however, that having Bounce Rate in there corrupts the Unique Pageviews data. We took bounce rate out. Now it won't load at all, saying there's an internal error - DataSource.Error.

We're really confused. How does one normally get a simple graph of a Page's Unique Pageviews over Time with Google Analytics data on Power BI?

Help reward my team for their hard work!!! Thank you so much for reading.

Hi, @Anonymous 

The Google Analytics content pack and the connector in Power BI Desktop rely on the Google Analytics Core Reporting API. The API may change in a way that affects the results of the queries we generate. In some cases, certain queries may no longer be supported. Due to this dependency we cannot guarantee the results of the queries when using this connector.

For further information, you may refer to the following links.

Sounds like it might be a problem with the table relationships, Power Bi might have automatically connected different tables together in an incorrect way based on the sample data it had. I would start by verfiying the relationships in the model are correct, then start by removing them and see if it at least loads. Then manually put them back. The relationships can be edited by clicking the last tab on the left bar in the visual editor.
