User Metrics - Dataset Consumption

Hi, 

I have a case where I need to track the direct consumption of a dataset in Power BI Service, which means i need to know the following information: 

 

  • How often is this dataset consumed in Excel? 
  • Who is connecting to the dataset in Excel? 

Is this information available somewhere? - I've looked through the Power BI Audit logs and there doesn't appear to be referenced there.

 

Br, 
Johannes

Hi @arvindsingh802 , 

If i'm understanding the documentation correctly, this only logs the actual action of pressing the Analysis in Excel button in Service, which does not really relate to the actual consumption.
