Usage report shared dataset self service
Hello community,
If your organization use shared datasets for self service, how do you track the usage of the dataset?
thanks.
Hi, Anonymous
If you want to know which reports a dataset is used in, you can directly click on the dataset to see all related reports.
Like this:
In addition, if you are an administrator, then you can also view the user's activity in powerbi in the audit log.
Like this:

These methods can basically meet your needs.

Hi, Anonymous
If you connect powerbi dataset in powerbi desktop to create a report and publish it to service, you can still use the 'view usage metrics report' function.
Reference:
Monitor usage metrics in the new workspace experience (preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Hi Janey,
Correct, but the user would use the dataset only. Can we track the DATASET instead of the report? they would make a live connection to the shared dataset and I would like to know if we can track which user uses a particular shared dataset?
