It would be helpful to be able to build usage reports across workspaces. Ideally, I'd like to be able to understand usage across all reports to understand how individuals/groups of users access reports as well as which reports are most used. It's important to track overall PowerBI adoption and usage and I'd like more flexibility in generating a usage dashboard.

If you provided access to the underlying datasource I would be glad to generate an app that provides some standard reporting.

RE: custom usage reporting across workspaces

We would like to see hours in the usage metrics reporting. We think is a powerful tool to take into account.

RE: custom usage reporting across workspaces

Making a report across work spaces would be very useful.

Also.. Now that the feature on scheduling has been implemented, it will be nice to be able to see how many of the views has been generated by the scheduling. For reporting to management, it might be relevant to leave those out.

RE: custom usage reporting across workspaces

We have several dashboards and reports and would like to build a combined usage report showing the reports/dashboards that are used the most, as well as, the users with the most usage activities.

We are not even able to connect the usage stats datasets from within Power BI Desktop or download the .pbix file, like we can for other reports.

This seems such a basic requirement, so it's disappointing that this feature isn't currently available.

RE: custom usage reporting across workspaces

If we can able to see reports usage in different workspaces, it can be helpful insight to manage our environment.

RE: custom usage reporting across workspaces

Spending more time to generate usage report for each workspace and then consolidating manually. Adding this feature will help a lot
