    Hi, JhonataBossa 

    What’s the credential you used to log in and connect the Google Analytics data to Power BI Desktop?

    According to the awareness in the Power BI support page, the Power BI customers authoring reports with Google connectors will be impacted when Google deprecates embedded/native browser auth for OAuth which is scheduled to take place for Power BI by the end of June 2021.

     

    For more information, you can turn to this site:

    https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/support/

     

    Thank you very much!

Hi JhonataBossa were you able to find a solution? I used the GA native connector but had some issues with my connection sometimes. As a workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I've tried windsor.ai, supemetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the GA connector in the data sources list:

 

 

After that, just grant access to your GA account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your GA fields:

 

 

There just select the fields you need. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.
