Hey Anonymous,

Thanks for your reply! Adding a .gitignore to ignore Report Usage Metrics subfolders seems to be the solution here.

Now, based on your suggestion I upgraded my trial to a PPU license today. However, I cannot access support. Your link (and the Get help in Power BI) leads to https://support.fabric.microsoft.com/en-US/support where I'm always asked to sign in and if I do, I get back to Power BI home. An infinite loop 😞

Best,

Max

what exactly did you put in the command line of gitignore file?

any updates so far? 

# Ignore Usage Metric Models / Reports by ignoring the corresponding subfolders
/Report Usage Metrics.Dataset/
/Report Usage Metrics.Report/

That's what I added Anonymous , but I didn't test it. I realized this week that this doesn't work. So I'll need to look into it more. Not so urgent for me right now though. If you're able to figure it out before, please share!

Thank you for a quick response! 

I've posted a ticket to the microsoft support, will try to keep you updated.
