    Limitations

    Historical Data Load

    When loading historical data, data must be loaded in batches of 6 months. However, there is no limit to how far into the past you can go.

    Troubleshooting

    Data Preview Unavailable

    If there is no data preview after clicking on Test Data, there might be a problem with your source configuration. The most common causes are:

    • Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward through our manual data load function.
    • Insufficient permissions: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.
    • Invalid metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: You may not have any data for the selected metrics, attributes, or breakdowns.
    • Incompatible combination of metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: The combination you have selected cannot be queried together. Please refer to the service's documentation to view a full list of metrics that can be included in the same source.
