Would like to eliminate the creator of the dashboard from being included in the usage metric tally. It could be an option to select or not depending on what you are trying to answer. Love this feature, but since the author is the first adopter with most views, it would be helpful to remove when reviewing overall usage. It might already exist, please show me how if so.

RE: Usage Metrics

This can already be done with alternate methods:Workspace creators an save a copy of the the default usage report in the Service. (Not downloadable unfortunately) and edit this by adding in e names of the users you don't want to display to a filters on all pages. I.e. the "UniqueUser" item from the "Users" and "Workspace Views" containers in the Data model. But this is time-consuming for multiple workspaces and not all the measures are that clear that they relate to only the users left (views %)The second way for IT admins is to use the Tenant setting "Per-user data in usage metrics for content creators" and use the Flag for a Except specific security groups and add names to a group managed outside of Power BI.

RE: Usage Metrics

Even better would be to have the filtering tool set the same as normal published reports. We need to filter multiple users from the report as a handful of users who work on the dashboard/reports dominate the metrics.

RE: Usage Metrics

Should be able to augment the usage metrics report similar to regular published reports

RE: Usage Metrics

Wow, that would be great to eliminate the creator or other "special" users. My numbers and a team member's numbers skew the usage numbers badly vs the rest of the organization.
