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.

We regularly track user statistics in order to decide which old reports are mostly used and which ones needs to be erased. So, it's critical for our company.
