2. Use Power BI Desktop to connect to the CSV file, import the data inside, and use DAX formula to get the latest sign-in data for each of the users within your tenant.

Sample data:

Expected result:
Get the latest sign-in data for each of the users within your tenant.

Detailed Steps:
Step 1:

Log in to the AAD portal, search for Power BI's login information based on your custom app and time range, and download it as a CSV.
1) Sign in to the Azure Active Directory admin center, then select Azure Active Directory from the portal menu.
From the resource menu, select Monitoring > Sign-ins.

2) You can go to the desktop and connect to the CSV file.

3) Use Dax to create a calculated column.

IsMaxdate =
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( [Date (UTC)] ),
        FILTER (
            'InteractiveSignIns_2022-07-19_2022-07-26',
            [Username] = EARLIER ( [Username] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( [Date (UTC)] = _maxdate, 1, 0 )

4) Then you can try to create a table visual and place the columns [Date UTC] and [Username] in it. And place a visual filter to set the value of [IsMaxDate] to 1 to filter the table visual, then you can sort the visual by DateUTC ascending to find out what users’ latest sign-in time to your tenant’s Power BI and who are not using Power BI currently:

Summary:
Through the AAD portal and Power BI Desktop, get the latest sign-in data for each of the users within your tenant.
