Helper IIIUsage statistics on Power BI workspace vs App
Does the usage statistics which is available for every report published on the workspace differ from the usage statistics of those reports which are also published on the app?
If yes, then how to track the usage statistics of the reports published on the app?
If you have an app then you shouldn't share via the workspace anyway (it should be reserved for UAT).
Not aware of a way to tell these apart - if you were using Log Analytics or Workspace Monitoring you could likely do it by looking at the URL - the workspace usage URLs will be missing the /me/ part.
I would second Ibendlin’s comment that best practice is to only share via the workspace app.
I would also suggest looking into the Power BI REST API to pull usage data. You can build much more functional and granular reports with the data in the api.
Please mark this post as solution if it helps you. Appreciate Kudos.
