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
Do we have any update in this topic?
RE: Power BI usage statistics
When you say Admins, do you mean content publishers? Or site Administrators? This is a needed functionality for the report owners to see how their reports are being used.

See https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/8191491-power-bi-usage-statistics
MS is working on it
RE: Power BI usage statistics
we want to learn if all users subscribed for PowerBI Pro do actually need the subscription assigned
RE: Power BI usage statistics
I can see who can view my dashboards but I want to know how often each user is actually utilizing a given dashboard
RE: Power BI usage statistics
Insight into how users are using the published dashboard and reports will be very helpful for us to prioritize our next steps
RE: Power BI usage statistics
We need an interface that can show/track?
1) User history. How many times a user logged in? Last log in?
2) Usage tracking
3) Data accessed.
For clinical usage, there needs to be a way to provide reports on whom is accessing the data, which data and how often.
RE: Power BI usage statistics
Please allow the admin users to see if and when users open the reports
RE: Power BI usage statistics
Yes totally, I agree you need to know about your frequent flyers. Both in the report space and the user space.
RE: Power BI usage statistics
Definitely need this capability. We are rolling out Power BI dashboards to our sales team and we need to be able to track who is using them...and who needs coaching!
