Issue Pulling Datasets from Google Analytics
Hi Lydia,
Thank you for your response. The version of Power BI Desktop I am using is version 2.64.5285.741 64-bit
However, I attempted to pull from the GA API again today and out of nowhere it was working again.
The *only* thing I did differently from yesterday, is I was forced to log out of my Google account for other reasons. I'm unsure how that would affect it, but it seems to have fixed the API connection issue.
I had cleared permissions a few times prior to posting this, but unfortunately that did not work. I really think it was some sort of issue with GA access and the API. It's so hard to tell though.
Thank you!

What version of Power BI Desktop do you use? I am unable to reproduce this issue in Power BI Desktop November release( 2.64.5285.741). I would recommend you clear stored Google analytics credential in your Power BI Desktop and re-connect to the data source.
Regards,
Lydia

Lydiaif you have issues using the built-in Google Analytics It can be smart to build a data warehouse with a copy of GA. This only avoids the inherint wrong result you might get using PBI for GA.
I wrore an article about this issue, the useless Google Analytics connector :o)
