"Something went wrong" Error When Connecting to Google BigQuery from Tableau Using a Service Account Email

Publiseringsdato: Aug 18, 2025
Beskrivelse

When using the Google BigQuery connector and selecting Sign in using OAuth, entering the email address of a service account on the sign-in page results in the following error and fails to establish the connection:

 

Something went wrong
Sorry, something went wrong there. Try again.

 

 

Cause:

When using OAuth for authentication, the Google sign-in flow requires a user account.  Do not enter a service account email address directly on the Google sign-in page.

Attempting to do so will result in this authentication error and will prevent the connection from being established.

 

Løsning

Option 1:

Select "Sign in using Service Account" and choose a valid Service Account JSON file.

 

Option 2:

Select "Sign In using OAuth" to sign in with a Google user account.
