Hi @alevandenes ,

 

You can try to delete the existing Usage Metrics Report dataset . Then you can run View Usage Metrics again to generate a new dataset with its associated usage metrics reports.

Here is the steps:

  1. Open the workspace that contains the report for which you want to reset the Usage Metrics Report dataset.

  2. In the black header bar at the top, select the Settings icon, then select Settings.

  3. Switch to the Datasets tab, and select the Usage Metrics Report dataset.
  4. Copy the workspace and dataset IDs from the URL displayed in the address bar of your browser.
  5. In your browser, go to Datasets - Delete Dataset In Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Docs. You can use this API to delete the dataset. You can use Postman or other API tools to make an API call on this endpoint to delete the dataset.

For more details, please refer to:
