Hello,
I am relatively new to power BI and have run in to an issue. What I am trying to do is find a way to build a report that shows which members of our company are viewing reports that we have on the Power BI Service, when they are viewing them, how many times etc.
The "usage metrics" feature and subsequnetly the "Analyse in excel" feature have proven to be a super effective way for me to access who is viewing reports across an entire workspace.
When I "Analyze" the "Usage metrics report" in excel, I do so using a pivot table as is default with the feature. I am able to select the information that I would like to see and excel returns a table that looks as follows:
Here I have first the date, then the user's email and then the specific report they viewed and the amount of times they viewed it on that date. This is exactly the information I would need to meet my goal.
When I put this data in to Power BI, the following is what occurs. As you can see i have first the date in its own row, the the email address and then the reports:
In order for this to be useful to me in power BI, I would like this data to look something like this (i just typed this in to excel to show what i would like to accomplish):
Is there a somewhat efficient way to do this???
