Anonymous access
I had the same issue and logged a support ticket with Microsoft because I wanted to build my own Google Analytics queries (include filters, segments, etc).
Here's the answer I got from the support team:
This is not possible due to constraints with the way Web.Contents stores credentials. They are stored based upon the URL value passed, and there can only be one URL per Dataset. In this case, you're trying to short-circuit a typical oAuth2 flow (one URL) and call the API (another URL). I made an attempt at using RelativePath to 'trick' the service, but stills require that the root of those two endpoints returned a valid HTTP 200 response to indicate connection success. In this case, https://www.googleapis.com returns a 404. Unfortunately, therefore it is not possible as an uploaded PBIX file. I suggest creating a new issue describing what data you would want to see in the Google Analytics content pack (https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/getdata/services/google-analytics) and we can see about adding it to the model.The only workaround for me so far, is to execute the query elsewhere (for me it's Google Spreadsheet) and connect PBI to that as a data source.
Hello DuncanP, I am facing the similar issue. I have done all the workarounds that you suggested. but still the issue is persisted.
let
AuthKey = "Basic mykey",

""query"": ""Select [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State] From WorkItems Where [System.WorkItemType] = 'Task' and [System.AreaPath]='Test Agile Project'""

Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url,[
Headers = [#"Authorization"= AuthKey ,
