Data lineage at tenant level

Hello guys,

We have reviewed the Data Lineage feature but it's only at workspace level. Is there any way to create something at tenant level?

Example: we would like to get all the reports/dashboards associated to a datasource in one go, not matter what the workspaces are. Right now what we get is the data lineage for one single Workspace. We want to go behind to build some governance. 

I guess this doesn't exist but is there any way to build something custom like this? APIs? 

 

Appreciate, as always.

Leo

    Hi Leo,

     

    You guessed it .. 

    Natively, there's no such thing, and I'm not sure on where it's at on the roadmap. 

     

    You can build the most part of it by using the PowerShell cmdlets or API calls, and then extract all the artefact information you need from the workspaces, reports, datasets, data sources and gateways. Usually in combination with the Audit Logs.

     

    I'm not sure what exactly you're after, but surely there's bits of it to be found on the interwebz.

     

    Alternatively, there's an impressive vendor solution called Power BI Sentinel that offers a really complete overview.

    They even got it up to a table/view level, I read on Twitter yesterday.

    At a price, that is.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Your demand is a good idea, while it is not supported to get the data lineage for all the workspace in Power BI currently. You can post your new idea in Idea Forum , to improve the Power BI.

     

    It is a place for customers to provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

     

    Best Regards,
