Usage Metric Report Advanced
Hey,
I have been using the Usage Metric Report for a few months and unless, it is a very useful tool, I find little documentation about the dataset.
So far, I have only been able to check the relationships between tables (using the dataset as a data source in Power BI Desktop), but I have not been able to check the DAX of the metrics, as there are some that I would like to duplicate and modify.
Is it possible to access the documentation of the data model, metric definitions and so on?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Alicia.

Hi alicialcaide ,
Based on your description, for dax, model-like metrics queries can use the performance analyzer feature to see how each report element (such as visual objects and DAX formulas) performs. As well as viewing and logging logs that measure the performance of each report element as the user interacts with it.
To use it, you can download the corresponding pbix file from the service and open performance analyzer in the toolbar at the top of the desktop.In addition, there are restrictions on downloading pbix files.
For more details, read below document:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Henry

That's not exactly what I meant in my post.What I want to know is the DAX calculation that is behind each metric in the data model of the Usage Metric Report that Power BI generates automatically. I've already connect to the dataset using Power BI Desktop, but the definition of each metric is hidden.
Thanks.
