Hi Anonymous,

 

I have at least a dozen of App Workspaces in my tenant, and some of them do show the "Content Pack" option as as delivery method, while others don't. 

 

Examples 1 and 2 (which shows Content Pack as option):

 

Example 3 ... that does not include Content Pack:

 

Since Content Pack it is not included I cannot track usage of this App ... given my users only consume it through the published App.

 

I'm admin to all workspaces, therefore that should not be a problem ... and all of them were created the exact same way.

 

Thanks for your help

Esteban

Hi Anonymous,

 

Normally, power bi will auto use current dashboard guid(you viewed) as report filter.
You can cancel above filter to display all distribution methods.

 

 

BTW, I think your content has been referred by content pack or its customize copy, so it displays different scenarios.

      HI Anonymous,

       

      Maybe you can take a look at power bi support if you are in North Europe.

       

      Some Power BI users in North Europe will be experiencing blank visuals in their Usage Metrics Reports. Engineers have found the issue and are working on a fix. Next update @ 04/09/2018 19:00 UTC.

        Anonymous thanks for hanging with me on this issue ...

         

        I'm not in NE, I'm in South America .. and honestly don't know what's the issue. I'm puzzled about this, why some apps would show usage and some others won't.

         

        Am I the only one with this problem?

         

        Thanks,

        Esteban
