    Hi Luckylucdr ,

     

    Please check whether the credentials have visible permissions to Google Analytics.
    Try to cleare the permission in the data source settings and then reconnect.

     

    There are some kind of possibilites that you might cause this issue:

    • There are restrictions on the dimensions and metric values for a single API call.
    • Google Analytics automatically samples data for high-traffic web pages.
    • This often results in wrong values being displayed as Power BI doesn’t let you check if the required dataset was sampled or not.
    • The dataset gets aggregated automatically and hence creating new averages or aggregations for such values isn’t possible.
