I would suggest if you want the correct source of truth is to access this data via the Audit Logs in Office 365.
From the Audit Logs they will give you all the required information.

andymc123What kind of access do I need to get Office 365 Audit Logs? I am not in IT. I am an owner of my Power BI workspaces, but simply a data analyst and report devloper. I am not sure how I could get Office 365 Audit Logs.

It would need to be an Office 365 Admin to extract the logs you require.
What I have done in the past is for the Office 365 Admin to set this up and then extract the files into a CSV and then use the extracted CSV files.
I would recommend this approach to be 100% sure of the numbers you are presenting.
