Hi. If you have created a report with Google Analytics connector and published to service, then you don't need to add any kind of source. Many cloud source don't need that. You just need to open the schedule refresh settings and edit credentials under Data Source Credentials section. Login in there, and you are ready to go. 

The sources you are adding in there are for using an onpremise data gateway that is not necessary for this connector.

I hope that helps,

Thanks for your reply.

So I am also connected to a sql database which uses the on premise gateway and can refresh.

 

I have just created a test and only connected to google analytics and the refresh worked.

Is it not possible to schedule a refresh for both SQL and GA data of the same dashboard? As my dashboard combines both.

 

Thanks
