Usage Metrics report Data not updating
Hi, My Usage Metrics report data is outdated (last updated 15/07/2021. The report shows up as 'unused' but it is definitely used. How do I refresh the data?
Hi UlrikeKloppers ,
Please first make sure the Usage Metrics setting in Tenant setting is enabled:
If you suspect data consistency or refresh issues, it might make sense to delete the existing Usage Metrics Report dataset. Then you can run View Usage Metrics again to generate a new dataset with its associated improved usage metrics reports. Please follow these steps to delete the dataset and then create a fresh data refresh report:
-
Open the workspace that contains the report for which you want to reset the Usage Metrics Report dataset.
-
In the black header bar at the top, select the Settings icon, then select Settings.
- Switch to the Datasets tab, and select the Usage Metrics Report dataset.
- Copy the workspace and dataset IDs from the URL displayed in the address bar of your browser.
-
In your browser, go to https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/deletedatasetingroup, and select the Try It button.
- Sign in to Power BI, paste the Workspace ID in the groupId text box and the dataset ID into the datasetId text box, and then select Run.
- Under the Run button, verify that the service returns a Response Code of 200. That code indicates that the dataset and its associated usage metrics reports have been deleted successfully.

Hi Winniz, thank you for your response. I am trying to delete the dataset but get a Response code 404 (instead of the 200). I am not sure where I am going wrong.
I asked someone with organisational admin rights to assist and we managed to delete the dataset.
Thank you, it now refreshes again.
