Tracking User Acticity on Page level
- 8 months ago
Hello showy123 ,
Views % is based on distinct view events, not a closed total. I want to give you an example. If a user opens a report this is 1 report view. If that user visit 9 pages this is 9 page views. Those 9 page views are all divided by the same report view denominator.
And for your second question, you can check this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/admin/service-admin-portal-audit-usage#use-powershell-to-export-audit-logs

Hello showy123,
The reason your page view percentages don’t add up to 100% is that not all report views are attributed to specific pages. Some views are logged only at the report level, some may come from mobile/embedded scenarios, and usage metrics also apply a 30‑day retention window with possible sampling.
This explains the “missing” 19% you’re seeing.For analyzing usage across all reports and workspaces natively (without building custom audit logs), you have three main options:
Usage Metrics Reports – per report, with page-level detail.
Admin Portal – workspace-level, high-level metrics.
Microsoft 365 Audit Logs / Power BI Activity Log – organization-wide, detailed user actions such as report views and page navigation.
Microsoft documentation:
Monitor report usage metrics
Track user activities in Power BI (Audit & Activity Logs)

Usage Metrics behave like this by design. Page view percentages are calculated independently and don’t fully capture things like landing page loads, drill-throughs, mobile views, or short system interactions, which is why they don’t add up to 100%. They’re useful for a quick glance, but not reliable for detailed usage analysis.
For your requirement, Fabric Unified Activity Monitor (FUAM) is the right solution(https://github.com/GT-Analytics/fuam-basic). It provides accurate, page-level activity across all workspaces using the official Fabric activity logs, without needing to build your own audit pipeline.
