To retrieve annual report usage for both internal and external (published to web) report

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

As per title, I want to retieve annual usage, ideally can be customized date range data on user view on reports in a (1 only) workspace (premium).

For internal report (not publish to web), I already customized Microsoft usage model and have latest 30 days usage data.  But what if I want to have latest annual usage ?

For external report (publish to web), I embedded report on company website and track usage by Google analytics (GA), but it's better if I can retrieve it from other means.

I'm not the IT admin so can't have access on audit log or Power bi rest api.  The data I need include

• date,
• report name,
• activity (currently view report),
• total view #

I've try using power shell to retrieve but it keep prompting error on invalid status code in event "Get-PowerBIActivityEvent" ... I've also try using python but failed as well (sorry I forget what's the error message mention).

Kindly ask what's the best practice for this task ? 

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

T

Talk to that person.  This is the ONLY way you can get that data IF and only if they have done their due diligence and have exported the audit logs consistently.
