Google Analytics - all tables are empty

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have connected my Google analytics account to Power BI but I can't get any data. I have various sites there with approx 3k visitors/month.

- if I select a site listed, nothing happens and the message on data view is "No items selected for preview"

- 1 of the site gives me the possibility to select data, but here, whatever I select (page tracking/pageviews & page title for example), I just get "This table is empty" though I have loads of data in my analytics account

Am I missing something ?

Hi @Anonymous were you able to find a solution? It's weird that you can't get any data even though you actually have data in your account. I've previously used the GA native connector but had some issues with my data sometimes. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the GA connector in the data sources list:

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

Hey!

I highly recommend that you check the official documentation including the Troubleshooting section to verify if the results that you're receiving are expected or not:

Hope this helps!
