Google Analytics Filter by Year

I am connected to a Google Analytics property and bring in Year, YearMonth, and Users. I am trying to filter by year since GA will not return 10+ years of data. The filter does nothing. It appears to load, but does not return new results or even filter the dataset within Power BI.

Need Help

    Hi Anonymous 

    Check the data type of column "year",

    If it is of type number, please change the "2018" , "2019", to 2018, 2019.

     

    Please look at my test below:

      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
