Hi Anonymous

 

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, but I used GoogleAnalytics.Accounts() built-in function and everything is working with both the Desktop and the Service version.

 

Unfortunately, I cannot set filters before the extractions, but at the moment I am not encountering issues.

    It works correctly, but it's requesting all data ever from the GA API.

    As a result GA sampling is destroying your data. This in turn makes the connecter useless for anything except the most basic things. (like all visits of a period of time)

     

    They really need to change the way the connecter works so you can specify the data range, but more importantly, like all other tools for GA, allow you to break up the query in smaller sections.
