    Hi TSH

    As a workaround, you can connect to power bi service in power bi desktop and select Dashboard Usage Metrics Model or Report Usage Metrics Model you have created.

     

    After being loaded into power bi desktop, you can save the report as a PBIX file.

Hi, sure you can but not directly from Power Bi. You have two ways of doings this.

- Global Office admin: turn on audit logs in power bi admin tenant settings and export it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-auditing#:~:text=Unified%20audit%20log-,Power%20BI%20activity%20log,as%20global%20admins%20and%20auditors.

- Power Bi admin: use power bi api to get activity events with rest api https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/admin/getactivityevents

Hope this helps.
