Thank you for your answer.

I'm aware of the fact that I have to recreate the model using the GA connector.

The question is : what is precisely the data model ( the entities and their relationship) and what do I have to select in order to create the model ?

I suppose that afterwards, I have to create the measures // calculated columns and reconciliate the results I get from the model with the corresponding one from the GA reports.

 

Anyone that has experience with this process and can answer / disclose the model perhaps ?

Thank you.

    I'm looking to do the same thing, build off the GA content package datamodel. Have you had any luck in solving this?

     

    Thanks.

       I haven't had any time allocated to this task.
