Power BI is missing Google Sheet connector
Power BI provides the Google Sheet connector which is no more in Beta version and should be available on any lates Power BI version.
On my laptop I'm running the version 2.114.664.0 64-bit (February 2023) and I have updated Power BI also on the same version on our VDI so every employer can work on the same version of Power BI.
The problem is that the Google Sheet connector is present on my laptop but not on the Power BI, same version, on the VDI:
So, same version, but on the VDI is missing.
I go to search online and I find out that the problem might be related to missing Preview features or Security.
But I have ticket all options both in Preview feature and Security and after restarting Power BI the Google Sheet connector is still missing.
Where am I wrong?
Hi Francesco,
I had the same problem today. My Power BI has Google Sheets, two other devices on my network don't - all have the same version of Power BI.
The fix is to go into C:\Users\yourusername\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\CertifiedExtensions and find GoogleSheets.pqx. Copy this file and drag it to the same directory on your other device / devices.

You may try downloading and installing the newest version from Download Microsoft Power BI Desktop from Official Microsoft Download Center in your VDI. It was updated to 2.114.803.0 yesterday. I install it in my AVD and see the Google Sheets connector as expected.
