Usage Metrics Report - refresh fails because of missing UsageMetricsDataConnector.GetMetricsData

[Anonymous]

Hello! I downloaded the PBI from a generated Usage Metrics Report and I wanted to refresh manually it and build my visuals around the datasets.

But i dont have the UsageMetricsDataConnector.GetMetricsData module.

Can someone share it?

Error:

Report views

The import UsageMetricsDataConnector.GetMetricsData matches no exports. Did you miss a module reference?

Thanks

João

Hi @Anonymous 

If you download the pbix file from the Report->File->Download pbix file, the  pbix file you open is a static file.

It holds data from the historical behavior.

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

• Make a copy of the report in the Power BI service. See Save a copy of the Usage Metrics report later in this article for details.

• Connect to the dataset from Power BI Desktop. For every workspace, the dataset has the name "Report Usage Metrics Model." See Establish a connection to a published dataset for details.

@v-juanli-msft Why isn't it possible to build a local model using UsageMetricsDataConnector.GetMetricsData()?
