    Hi v-kelly-msft,

     

    Thank you for comming back to me. Unfortunately they did not help. it seems that this is an issue with the View in GA that I need to look into. I have temporarily solved the issue by creating a new View that updates the usar data correctly.

    Kristian

Hi Kristian_nho were you able to find a solution? I 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.
