Microsoft 365 usage analytics: Views inconsistent?

I don´t get the logic in some views ... (hope I can describe it with my English capabilities).

 

I started with power bi on the beginning of june; I searched a lot and understood meanwhile that my data is not up to the actual day but can be 5-8 days old. I read that nevertheless the data base is refreshed on a daily basis. The field "content data" in the individual tables should give me a clue how old my data are.

 

  1. I started with the app M365 Usage Analytics on June 1st.
  2. In  the content data field (e.g. the table TenantProductUsage) I can find data up to Mai 31st 2020.
  3. The view "Product usage" is confusing me: In the lower table "Activity usage Details" I can see data for May. Above on the left side, with the title "Active User %" it only shows April 2020.
  4. When I create a separate view and display the fields MostRecent-ActiveUsers(%) and the title field "Active User % Label" from the table TenantProductUsage I am able to see the data of May.

So why is there still the data of April in the overview? It wouldn´t bother me if I don´t get the most actual data but seeing April on top and May on bottom .... I am unsure whether I can rely on the app and present it to the project leader ....

 

I would appreciate very much any kind of help and info, thx very much and best regards,

Vera

I guess you are talking about the excecutive summary of M365 usage analytics. It doesn't look like a Power bi problem. You could post it in O365 Admin Forum.  You can try explain your quesiton with some pictures.

Thank you for your reply, Paul.

 

Today - after 9 days since initiating the data collection in the admin GUI - the charts represent May 2020, and also the data on user level is available.

 

So it´s a matter of patience 🙂

 

I will present it to my project leader with the information that the data is only reliable for the last completed month.

 

Best regards,
