Sharepoint document library retrieve view statistics
Hello the community,
I am using Power BI in order to try to get deeper statistics than the site usage feature offered by Sharepoint which I think is very poor
So I managed on document library to get file size data, folder size, size ventillation by tags, file type, etc....
but nothing concerning files user viewing count on my documentary library, or the pages viewing count from my News app.
I'would like to find the same kind of information than Sharepoint site usage feature, but with more deeper details/flexible where you can choose your period on time, if you want view stat on the whole sharepoint or on only on the document library etc...
And I did not find this kind of info when I connected my Power BI to my document library from my Sharepoint site
But maybe I did not look at the right place.
I hope it is possible,
Thanks for your help

Hi PierreL69 ,
Have you tried to use the service app to analysis your sharepoint data? You can have a look at this: https://appsource.microsoft.com/en-us/product/power-bi/pbi_webtrends.pbi-webtrends-sharepoint?tab=overview
You can find more Service app to analysis data about sharepoint in AppSource.

Hi PierreL69 ,
Sorry for reply late, Based on this similar theread, You may need to use the office 365 management API for usage and retrieve the data on a schedule and store in your own database, you can then use PowerBI to report on top of that. You need to register an Azure AD app and give it permissions to use this API.
