The Power BI Premium Capacity Metrics app provides a dataset that can be shared. This means we can consume it, but not manipulate the data. If the dataset were provided as a dataflow we could more effectively create reports that make it easier to administer the Power BI Cloud Service utilization.
One reason for this is the current app only uses UTC time forcing a mental calculation to see when the high utilization times actually occur.
Second being able to manipulate the data - some tables can be combined to faciliate generating a refresh schedule which shows when datasets and dataflows are being refreshed, the reports they support and the workspaces they come from. This helps identify the heavy usage of the Power BI Premium Capacity.
