Power BI Usage Reports

Hi,

 

I have launched a report and have been checking out the usage metrics via the usage metrics report tool Power BI provides.

 

I have noticed that the table (bottom right) consists of mostly users opening the report a few times - "Report Opens", but having no values for "total page views". 

 

I'd like some clarification as to what this means - are they opening the tool and somehow not getting access to the data, or are they opening the tool and only accessing the landing page before closing it? I'd have thought that a report open would equal a report page view, but perhaps not?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Report views/Report opens:

    A Report View is recorded each time someone opens a report and represents unique landings on the report.

     

    It means, "How often is the report accessed?" This definition of a Report View differs from previous usage metrics reports. Changing report pages is no longer considered an additional Report View. Instead, changing report pages counts for the next metric, Report Page Views. Activities such as sharing and pinning are no longer considered in usage metrics.

     

    Please refer to the following document for more information.

    Best Regards,

      No, this is a bug.  It started on Thursday February 23rd and no Page Views have been recorded since.  I reporting out page views for two years and this just started. If I go in today, there will be no page views recorded for today and I have over 1400 report users.
