Usage Metrics Report Save
Hi JamieF,
This seems to be a recent service regression.
This was also reported here: https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Service/Usage-Metrics-is-not-visible-in-Workspace-after-saving-a-copy/m-p/4862373#M289211
I have raised a ticket with Microsoft and am waiting to hear back.

Thanks Tayloramy, you mention 'For now I recommend making a new report in Power BI Desktop connecting back to the Usage Metrics semantic model.' - when doing this I noticed the data is only available for the prior 30 days. 2 questions if you're able to help:
1. Would this be the case anyway if there was no bug with saving the usage report to a workspace?
2. Is there a way to access a greater period of history (optimally looking for 2 years, or 1 year min)?
Hi JamieF,
I'm not positive on this one, but I think the usage metrics report only has 90 days of data, at least there's references to that in the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-usage-metrics

JamieF Usage metrics Report saves only rolling past 30 days data. So its not possible to get historic data greater than 30 days. I would suggest to store the usage metrics data by extracting using Dax Query via Power automate or Fabric notebooks and store it to a sharepoint folder or a lakehouse.
Hi Jai-Rathinavel,
That's what I originally thought too, however the docs make reference to 90 day periods:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-usage-metrics#which-metrics-are-reportedMetric Dashboard Report Description
Platforms slicer yes yes Was the dashboard or report accessed via the Power BI service (powerbi.com) or a mobile device? Mobile includes all our iOS and Android apps. Report page slicer no yes If the report has more than one page, slice the report by the page that was viewed. "Blank" means a report page was recently added (within 24 hours the actual name of the new page appears in the slicer list) or report pages have been deleted. "Blank" captures these types of situations. Views per day yes yes Total number of views per day. A view is defined as a user loading a report page or dashboard. Unique viewers per day yes yes Number of different users who viewed the dashboard or report (based on the Microsoft Entra user account). Views per user yes yes Number of views in the past 90 days, broken down by individual users. Shares per day yes no Number of times the dashboard was shared with another user or group. Total views yes yes Number of views in the past 90 days. Total viewers yes yes Number of unique viewers in the past 90 days. Total shares yes no Number of times the dashboard or report was shared in the past 90 days. Total in organization yes yes Count of all dashboards or reports in the entire organization that had at least one view in the past 90 days. Used to calculate rank. Rank: Total views yes yes For total views of all dashboards or reports in the organization over the past 90 days, where does this dashboard or report rank. Rank: Total shares yes no For total shares of all dashboards in the organization over the past 90 days, where does this dashboard or report rank. and then above this table, it states:
When you select View usage metrics report, Power BI generates a prebuilt report with usage metrics for that content during the last 90 days.I want to say that this being 90 days instead of 30 is somewhat recent? I could have sword it was 30 last year when I looked at it.
