    Ok, I think you should reach out to the Microsoft Power BI support team, they will be able to give you the RCA by tracing the request and Activity IDs

I guess your datasource is Google Analytics 4. The error shared suggests that the output retrieved from GA4 is not in json format. generally this error arises when an API request is failed.

 

Are you using the latest implementation of GA4 connetor? if not then please watch this video

Or may be you can opt for third party connector templates like the one below

Hi tharunkumarRTK 

 

Thanks for your response. I am indeed using the latest version of the GA4 connector, and I am also aware of the failed API request being the likely cause of those errors, but what is not clear is:

 

1) why they happened

2) more importantly, what the more recent errors are (those that are listed lower down, where just a Request ID and Activity ID are listed)

 

Thanks
