    Thanks for the suggetion v-juanli-msft . That does not fix this issue as modifying the datatype interferes with the way Power BI modifise google analytics API calls. If I filter on a time dimension it can/should send a query to GA with the time filter applied. That is not happening with year.

      Hi Anonymous 

      My solution doesn't need you to change the data type of your data model, just modify your string code below

      change "2018" and "2019" to 2018,2019

       

      Did you try this and it still not fix?

       

      Best Regards
      Maggie
