PowerBI - Google Analytics Data Source issue - "Credentials invalid"

Hey guys,

I found workaround. 

I used Method 2 on this link https://measureschool.com/google-analytics-to-google-sheets-export/ to download analytitcs to google sheet.

Then I followed this guide https://natechamberlain.com/2019/10/08/connect-a-google-sheet-spreadsheet-to-power-bi-as-a-data-source/ to connect to google sheets.
Scheduled refresh is now working.

Hopefully this workaround works for you.

Any chance someone's had success here? 

I've been running Google Analytics connections successfully for 2+ years. But just recently, the same issue as popped up and cannot be fixed with the variety of solutions I've tried. 

I'd prefer fixing the GA connection, rather than trying to rebuild all my sources in Google Sheets & rebuilding my PBI reports. 

Hey I think I managed to find a workaround. Try using Microsoft Edge instead, then refreshing each credential, for me it was GA/Sharepoint/Web I was then able to edit my refresh schedule. But the second I went back to chrome, it was greyed out and spinning again (but it still refreshes, you just can't adjust it).

If that doesn't work for you, try deleting the credential in desktop data sources first, not sure if that had anything to do with it but I did this before trying edge.

Hi,

same issue here. Have you managed to make it work?
For me, even manual refresh is not working. It just keeps on spinning.

Sadly, I haven't been able to fix it. Would be great if anyone knows what's up

Same problem here. I tried to edit, remove and re-enter the credentials several times, tried different privacy levels, but nothing works. It seems to accept the credentials, but the alert saying that the refresh schedule cannot be enabled, does no go away. No refresh schedule possible... 

Noting that I encountered the same issue, luckily after removing and re-adding the credentials in desktop I was able to get refreshes working online. The only caveat is it always says credentials are invalid  despite still working, GA continues spinning, and all the scheduled refresh options are greyed out.

Same issue. The data reload works fine in Power BI Desktop, but then fails in the service.

I also get an 'Invalid credentials' error under data source credentials in the dataset options, even after updating them and getting a temporary 'succesfully updated' message. 

No more credentials error for me, today... Let's try again!
