Google Analytics Connector - Importing data where values in some columns are null
Update: I tried running the same query through Googles query explorer tool and got the same results I am seeing with Power BI so it appears Power BI is using the API as designed and the API is filtering out the events where there are not values for all the custom dimensions specified.
Will need to restructure data going.
Marking this as closed as it doesnt look like a POwer BI issue.
Hi chrisbanton,
In Power BI desktop, the connector connect to Google Analytics rely on the Google Analytics Core Reporting API. The API may change in a way that affects the results of the queries we generate. Please refer to this article: Google Analytics connector for Power BI Desktop.
In your scenario, please try to update the desktop to the newest version. Also based on this article, I would suggest you post a thread here to discuss the custom dimension related to google-analytics-api.
Best Regards,
