Report Page Views New Usage model UserId

In the old usage reporting I could monitor which pages are being used by which login. However in the new model the UserId is a guid not an email address so I can no longer do this effectively? All the other UserId's in the model are all email addresses. Is this a set up issue with our power bi tenant or is this just the design? I can't even do a lookupvalue to find it. 

 

  • But, now if I create new Usage statistics report the Users table is now available so I presume something has changed in the last few weeks for that to happen. Pity it doesn't update the exisiting report models and I have to create new usage reports.

     

    **Update1 - if I go in and edit the report save and then leave the workspace and go back into the report then the Users table is now available in these existing usage reports.

    **Update2 - I have to create a new usage report from one of the reports in the workspace save it and then the original usage report will also be updated.

    Hi gooranga1 ,

     

    Yes, you could get different usage reports via enable/disable the New usage report off button.

     

     

    For more information,you can refer to this official document:

      Thanks Anonymous . Unfortunately when I go to the admin portal it looks like I do not have enough access rights to see all of those options which is a shame.

    Hi gooranga1 ,

     

    Based on my test, you could find the username in format of email address in Users table:
