Google Analytics connector - refresh error in service
We have 3 reports that use the Power BI Google Analytics connector, and for the past few days they have been failing to refresh on the service. I am able to manually refresh the reports in Desktop without changing anything.
The error we're receiving is as follows:
The field 'errors' of the record wasn't found.. The exception was raised by the IDataReader interface. Please review the error message and provider documentation for further information and corrective action.
Sometimes there is a table name listed at the end, but it isn't the same one with each refresh. There are no fields called "errors" in any of the datasets. I know that the documentation on the connector says issues may arise when the Google Analytics API changes, but it doesn't look like the API has changed in a while. Has anyone else run into this error?
As of 3pm Central, it appears that this issue has been resolved. Support had me refresh our reports and they all completed successfully. If you've tried refreshing since then and are still getting the error, I'd suggest submitting a separate ticket.

I am also getting this error and can not find any reason for it. It also started Sunday October 10 2021. Refresh works just fine on desktop

Same here. It works fine in the desktop, but we are hitting the exact same error for multiple reports in the service. All of them make use of the build in Power BI GA connector.
Best,

Hi LeifB
Yes, it's not just you. I'm getting this same error on refreshing Google Analytics since yesterday, and know others who also have it. I don't have a fix (yet - I'm looking at it) but thought you should know that it seems more widespread than just your problem.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply, looks like there's quite a few others with this issue too. Have you submitted a ticket for this? We can go ahead and submit one if not.

Hi LeifB
Go ahead and raise a ticket. I thought it was working this morning, but it seems to have stopped working again. Its not an issue for me, just an interest, so if you need it looked at quickly a ticket may help.
Thanks

Refresh is fine in Power BI Desktop. - AnonymousNot applicable
We are also experiencing this issue - error indicates that either 'errors' or 'dimensions' fields couldnt be read by the IDataReader.
Refresh details look like this:

We're running into the same exact problem — it started on October 8th.
I opened a support ticket and highlighted this thread.

We are getting this error since this morning. I know this topic has some time but I'm wondering, the issue resolved itself? Or did you do something to solve it? Thanks!!

This ended up being a Microsoft Power BI service issue. So, no one had to do anything - it was just fixed eventually. We haven't seen any errors on our end today.
