Usage Metrics report does not show User Name on Section Name View

Hello

I would like to see a list of views per section name in a report by User. In this case the userid is populated with a code rather than  a name. On the Report View table , the name is visible in the userid field

Anyone know how to solve this? 

  • Hi Genevieve 

     

    You can create a copy of the usage metrics report from File > Save a copy. The report copy connects to the same Usage Metrics Report dataset and enables you to edit the report details. Then edit the report copy, use UserKey instead of UserId in the table visual.

    Kindly let me know if this helps.

    Hi Genevieve ,

    as Power BI Admin you can allow to show the name ins the user metrics for a report. It depends on the settings you have in the Power BI Service. 

     

    Best,

        Hi Anonymous 

        1) you need to be Fabric Admin

        2) go to app.powerbi.com

        3) click on the gear in the right upper corner

        4) open Tenant settings

        5) search for metrics in the search bar right beside

         

        Good luck 👍
