Provide analysis of how our Power BI dashboards/reports are being used:

Hit count, Q&A queries ran, filters applied, common actions etc.

This would allow us to track the importance and use of our reporting and see how different users interact with the data.

RE: Power BI usage statistics

As per the previous few queries, is there an update on this? it says that there is due to be an update in early new year, it's important to us in the community to have some idea of delivery (as we typically have customers depending upon us for updates)

- I'd like to publish this to our on-premise MOSS CoP site to show the adoption and growth of the PowerBI strategy
- I'd like to see "what's new" and also see if there are any dataset concerns (live connect to on-premise vs. stored in PowerBI.

RE: Power BI usage statistics

It would be nice to have as a default a basic report on the number of users that viewed any given dashboard by day. It would also be nice to include this report in the actual dashboard on which the metrics are based.
