I am working with the Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics template and i want to visualize data filtered by 'UserState'[Department]. This should be easy to do, but there is a problem: data showed by the template is not connected in such a way it allows this type of filtering. This leads to a situation where, no matter what department's values i want to visualize, i see the same. To make it easier to imagine:
One way i would be able to get what i want is getting a table like:
[Month] [User] [Enabled] [Active] ....
July User1 Yes Yes ....
July User2 Yes No ....
July User3 Yes No ....
or even:
[Month] [Department] [Enabled] [Active] ....
July Dpt1 1051 840 ....
July Dpt2 2056 1492 ....
July Dpt3 351 298 ....
So my question is: Is there any way i can have access to my tenant's licenses usage in a way i can get data similar to what i have showed?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi @Anonymous ,
If I understand correctly, it seems that you want to display the fields on the visuals dynamically base on [Department]. Am I right? But what's the backend logic? Which fields every department should display separately?

Hello @Anonymous ,
the fields i want to show splitted by [Department] are the Users Usage columns, such us [Enabled Users] [Active Users] etc. After some research, this is most likely impossible to do from the inside of the pbix since it does not exist any relationship between both fields (because [Department] is related to [User], meanwhile [Enabled Users] is just a number, meaning the "ID" is lost somewhere and became just a "+1"). So now what im hoping to find is a way to access the process that makes the "ID" become a "+1". For that purpose, I have tried using microsoft graph but even that seems to not be the solution. Is there any way to recover the [User with row ID is enabled], [User with row ID was active in row month] or something like that?
Thank you for replying my oiriginal question.
