Fabric Chargeback Reporting
Hi team I just wanted to checkout if in the Fabric Chargeback Reporting app (we have a user lever detail), so can we setup an alert which can tell for an individual user who consumed most of the ...

There is no out-of-the-box alert in the Fabric Chargeback app to automatically notify which user, item, or workspace consumed the most CUs.
What you can do today:
- The Fabric Chargeback app (preview) delivers visuals showing CU usage by workspace, item, and domain/subdomain, and offers a matrix with user breakdown, hovering reveals per user CU contributions
- You can filter, drill into workspace/item visuals, and export the report data (ex: to CSV/Excel) then manually analyze it to identify top consumers
- The app’s data refreshes once daily and isn’t real-time though manual refresh is possible
But, alerting? That’s handled via Data Activator:
- With the Fabric Capacity Metrics app plus Data Activator, you can set up alerts based on thresholds in CU usage, for ex: if CU consumption exceeds a certain limit
- You’d have to custom-build the logic, for instance: “Alert me when User X’s CU exceeds Y” or “Workspace/Item CU top X%”, you define the threshold and trigger.
My recommendation:
Since you're looking for “who consumed the most CUs,” go with a custom solution using the Metrics App’s semantic model, store the data in OneLake, and apply either Power Automate or Data Activator rules to generate alerts.
