Usage Metrics across workspaces
Hello,
Is it possible to modify usage metrics report which can access reports/dashboards across multiple workspaces?
Regards
Hi vmakhija,
If you are a Power BI admin, you can go to Admin Portal-> Usage Metrics to see which users and groups, are the most active within Power BI for your organization. This will not show detail information as in report/ dashboard usage metrics.
For your requirement, you can vote for ideas below:

This would really be helpful as the number of our workspaces increases and we are getting asked consistently what the usage is across the company. Currently a painful excercise.
I think this capability was just added very recently. I just found this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-usage-metrics which says "...you can personalize a usage metrics report by using "Save as." This creates a brand new dataset and converts the read-only report to a full-featured Power BI report that you can edit. Not only does the personalized report contain metrics for the selected dashboard or report, but by removing the default filter, you now have access to usage metrics for all dashboards or all reports in the selected workspace. And you can even see the names of your end users."
Hi Anonymous,
Yes we have modified the usage to encompass the whole workspace and add better metrics for us. It has been around a little while now. The big but though is that I want to report across all workspaces as well so we can review licenses at a corporate level.
At the moment I have to export all the individual workspaces usage report from a specific matrix I create in each report and analyse it in excel to get a company wide view of usage across all workspaces as a whole. So we check last usage and I need to know that across all our different workspaces.
Hey, if you're not an admin, you can try solution from this article!
Let's you get usage data from any workspace and combine it together in automated way.
