Set date range limit on google analytics query
When you bring the Time attribute in your query, you have the ability to right click on the time field and specify the filter condition (Before, After, etc.) after the filter has been applied you can click on a gear box next to the Filtered Rows step in the Applied Steps section on the right and tweak it if you need to.
Really, the lack of date range parameters on this integration makes it near useless. GA doesn't return leaf-level data, so the only metrics which will propery aggregate are counts like pageviews. Also, not having true GA filters and segments is a show-stopper. This integration is basically eye-candy. Tableau made some (but not nearly as many) of the same mistakes in their integration.
i agree - will Microsoft add these features in a future release?
Maybe you can create an Idea on the Ideas board? I'd surely vote for it. It shouldnt be that much trouble eiter, because the GA API calls have room for these parameters.
