GA Data Discrepancies

Hello,

I wonder if anyone has an idea why there might be big differences when loading data from GA into QLIK for time frames >2 months. I am aware that GA does some sampling from a certain limit onwards (scope, number of records) which you can´t prevent.

I can pull in accurate data on monthly basis, and even for 2 months, I see the same amount of Sessions as total and for each of the two months if I compare it with Google Analytics (pulled via Google Data Studio).

But as soon I pull three months together, both, total and monthly values differ largely when I compare it with the same definitions in Google Data Studio (GDS). Since the latter does seem to work, I believe it cannot be sampling, as this would also apply to GDS.

Does anyone has a similar experience?

Many thanks,

Joerg
