I tried to connect to a dataset and I get this error:

Data Set Configuration Error

Data Studio cannot connect to your data set.

Failed to fetch data from the underlying data set

I wish the error messages would be a little more helpful.

You may need to have billing enabled on your project.

I have a CC with google for their other cloud stuff. Is there a separate one for this?

Not knowing the specifics of your situation, I’m making a lot of assumptions here. In the steps for this guide it instructs the user to select a Billing Project when connecting to the data source (I’m assuming a BigQuery dataset). Billing needs to be “enabled” on this project that’s selected as the “Billing Project”.

Here’s a link to steps where you can confirm whether billing is enabled for this project and enable it if needed.
