Has anyone found a way to link Usage Reports across workspaces?

[PAPutzback2]

I have workspaces for multiple cusotmers and want to track usage down to the page\section level of a report. The Powershell PowerBIActivityEvent cmdlet only exports views to the Report level. 

I've thought I could create a PowerBI report and connect it to multiple Usage reports, but after you select one report with live data, the options; get data, edit queries and everything else get disabled.

Then I spent a lot of time googling how to use PowerShell to pull data from a reprot with no luck. 

I don't understand why Power BI usage was an after thought. Or do most Power BI Service custoemrs onyl create one single workspace and this isn't an issue 😉

Hi there

As far as I know there is no way to track usage at the page/section level.

Using the PowerBIActivityEvent is the best that I know of at the moment!

I have a daily drop of the PowerBI Activity data into blob storage that I load into SQL. I really hope they expand what it can export. We really want to know what pages can be dropped if users aren't accessing them.

Hi there

As far as I know this is not currently on the roadmap unfortunately!

😖. I can't say I am suprised. A few steps from the finish line and they stop. Do you know if there is a role other than Power BI Admin that can run the reports from the Admin site. Or maybe there is a custom role that can be created to run the Admin level reports.
