how to connect SharePoint site access user details via Power BI reports

[Gokul_G16]

Hi Experts,

Good day,

I would like to create new reports in Power BI or any other visual tool, with the data source coming from SharePoint. I need to import site access user counts, including the number of views and counts.

I tried using Power BI to get data from SharePoint and its folders, but I couldn't find the site access and views information. I know that we can export this data via the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center, but my client does not allow tenant access due to data privacy concerns.

Could you please advise on how we can achieve this? Specifically, I need to collect SharePoint document and file access user details daily and connect this data to Power BI reports.

Regards,
Gokul

Note:  This will be an excruciatingly slow process.  Instead of attempting to do this in Power BI, use Powershell to extract the data into a usable format and then consume that in Power BI.
