    Open up Power BI desktop, and connect to a Power BI Dataset. Look for Usage. You can build your report off of that. To do multiple datasets, click on "Make Changes to this model" in the lower right corner of Power BI. You'll need the DirectQuery to Power BI Datasets feature (composite model) enabled in Preview settings.

    Once in the composite model, add your own dimension from wherever that is - another dataset, sharepoint list, whatever.

Thanks for your answer. I cannot follow when you say "Look for Usage. ".

 

Also, does this work for reports used in different workspaces?

When you open the dialog as I described, you will see everything. Type "usage" in the search box. And yes, it an be across workspaces as long as they are all upgraded to the new experience, which they should be by now.
