The officially supported Matomo Connector for Looker Studio enables you to explore your Matomo data in Looker Studio at no cost. You can connect to both Matomo Cloud instances or On-Premise instances using just a Matomo Auth Token.
Matomo Connector would be even more powerful if Matomo could add the following time options.
We would like most: "ISO week of ISO year" and "Month (of) year".
Matomo Now
The Matomo Analytics native connector for Looker Studio - here, you can only select "Date" as time & date dimension for the x-axis, so you basically get only a daily view of the Visits metric.

Feature Request
We want to do the following. The view below was made after using a different importing tool (the Supermetrics connector) - here, you have the option to select, for example, "Month" as the date & time dimension applying to the x-axis.
Screenshot here shows the default date & time dimensions (fields) from Looker Studio - from our experience, the ones marked in purple are sufficient for most regular use cases. Specifically, the "ISO week of ISO year" and "Month (of) year" dimensions are useful for (timeline) charts that show the development of a metric including the transition from one calendar year to the next (as otherwise it may become difficult to maintain a correct order of the months on the x-axis of the chart), or when comparing the development of the current year to the previous year.
Lack of this feature severely restricts the possibilities for many reporting use cases we have as an agency with regard to our client's website data (as most of them prefer to see their data on the basis of months or weeks or year-month / year-week).
