Connecting to Excel workbooks in OneDrive is a great first step, but connectivity to Google Sheets should be there too.

Thanks for the suggestions! I've split out the other cloud storage options into separate ideas for people to vote on.

RE: Connectivity to Google sheets

This data source would be FANTASTIC if it had a more robust offering. Missing date filtering upon query and the lack of support for custom dimension/metrics makes this pretty much unusable.

On the topic of custom dimensions/metrics - these selection options should be removed until they are properly supported. Having them available for selection, but pulling in incorrect numbers is poor execution. And wildly confusing to the end user. I had to open a premium support ticket before a microsoft engineer pointed this out to me.

Yes!! Please update this as soon as possible, segments are hugely important to either remove or add particular data and without this, reporting using the GA connector is useless.

This would be a BIG help in our company - GP Console stats and ITunes app Store stats a must.

Es muy importante contar con esta información sin tener que estar ingresando a Google Play Console

Without the update and without non-aggregated data the connector is pretty much useless... I can't understand why this connector is not being updated yesterday. Everybody uses Google Analytics. Without the update its really just anal ytics.

RE: Connectivity to Google sheets

The advantage of using Power BI to query GA data is that we can do whatever we want to do to manipulate data, to tell the story in our own way. Without Regex filter, we cannot slice the data correctly, and all the advantages mentioned before would be useless, which would force users like us to turn to Google Data Studio's embrace.
