Dataset track user activities in excel

Hello,

 

Is there a way to track usage of a dataset in excel?

 

The core datasets I created are mainly used via excel, and I'm blind on usage tracking.

Can anyone advice me, please?

 

Thanks!

      Hello Anonymous 

       

      Thanks for the link but it's not what I'm looking for.

       

      I have a Power BI Dataset, which is used by the business users via excel.

      The usage metrics in the service do not provide info on excel usage.

       

      So, I'm wondering if is there a way to track how many people use the dataset via excel, and how ofen do they use it.

       

      Thanks!

        Hi ROG ,

         

        I'm sorry, but I don't think it's possible to achieve what you want.
