Hi - Is there a way to get usage data for dataflows similar to how one can get the usage report with user views etc for reports? Thank you!!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @paythepiper
You can use Power BI REST APIs to build your own report

I'm trying to find more along the lines of user information. We have several published dataflows that we would like to see whether users have even accessed them to play around with if not published a report from them. Sort of like on the report usage metrics you can see user views. And for that matter, it would be good to know if users have exported from a report. I think maybe the API holds the most hope, but need to investigate more what events are captured.
Thank you!
Hi @paythepiper ,
If I understand correctly, the issue is that you want to get usage data for dataflows. Please try the following methods and check if they can solve your problem:
1.Go to the Power BI service.
2.Navigate to the workspace where the dataflow is located.
3.Select the dataflow and click on the refresh history to view.

In your workspace, you can switch from list view to lineage view to see which reports/models are using your dataflow
