How to create dashboard on usage itself?

[ovonel]

I have 4 reports in different workspaces. I want to create a dashboard on usage of it.

I know there is the (below) “View usage metrics report” option… but, I would like to combine all of them in one report.

 Furthermore, I have a user dimension myself, that I would like to join to User Principal Name, and do different ‘group BYs’… 

Is there a way of achieving it? I am trying to find a way of either exporting it to my sql server database and then create an ssas cube… or somesort of upload my user dimension and create a dataflow in the power bi service….

but I need to do it, across workspaces, this is only for 1 workspace...

Hi, @ovonel 

If you have enable 'Using DirectQuery for Power BI datasets and Azure Analysis Services (preview)' (need to restart your PowerBI Desktop), you should be able to connect to the underlying data sources of two different workspaces(named "Usage Metrics Report").

You can also refer to this similar thread.

Hi, @ovonel 

Power BI allows you to customize your own usage metrics report against the underlying dataset.

To dig into the report data, or to build your own reports against the underlying dataset, you have several options:

• Make a copy of the report in the Power BI service. Use Save a copy to create a separate instance of the usage metrics report, which you can customize to meet your specific needs.
• Connect to the dataset with a new report. For every workspace, the dataset has the name "Usage Metrics Report," as explained earlier in the section Usage metrics report dataset. You can use Power BI Desktop to build custom usage metrics reports based on the underlying dataset.
• Use Analyze in Excel. You can also analyze the Power BI usage data in PivotTables, charts, and slicer features in Microsoft Excel. Read more about the Analyze in Excel feature.
