Hi,

 

Can you help me to get an export of our Power BI usage of the last year.

How can we do that?

 

Kind regards,

Thanks for your feedback, this can help me.

We only actived the audit logs on 8/10, but I can't see the history of our previous months.

Is there a way, I can see them?

 

Kind regards,

Davina

This documentations helps how to get usage data.

But we only activated the audit logs on 8/10, and I get only data since we activated is. That's good for the future, but what with older data? Can you help me furter?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I found you raised another thread with subject Power BI Audit logs about this similar problem. As @lbendlin replied, user and admin activity from your organization begin to be recorded in the audit log and retained when turn on auditing. It will not record and retain the acitivity information for your organization if turn off auditing in Microsoft 365. I'm sorry that currently I don't have any feasible way to help you get the data earlier than August 10... 

The following blogs may help you in the future.
