Hi,
I'm connecting to the Usage Metric Report in my workspace via Power BI Desktop - I've saved the Usage Metric Report after viewing the report in the Workspace which then let's me connect to it as a datasource in Power BI Desktop. I'm doing this because I want to add in some additional measures that help make the report more usable for me.
In my workspace I have 3 reports. If one use views all 3 reports in one day I want this to total 3, regardless of the number of times each report is viewed in that day. Then I want to be able to roll this up across days and users.
At the moment the 2 standard count metrics don't give me what I'm looking for:
I'm able to get the total distinct days viewed by user using the following:

@Anonymous - I've saved a copy of the usage metrics report and can customize it in the service. However, I'm not able to connect to the dataset in PBI Desktop. If you don't mind could you describe how you connected to the dataset in the Desktop? I see all of my other datasets in the workspace, but just not the usage metrics report.
Hi @Jaf017 ,
I created a Usage Metric Report in the Service which creates a dataset. All I needed to do from there was go to Desktop and connect to a Power BI Datset. When the window appears I searched for the Workspace that containts the Usage Metric report - it's usually called Report Usage Metrics Model.
Once you've connected you can create your own Usage Metric Report - you'll not be able to add calculated columns as it's a live connection.
Hopefully that helps.
Thanks,
MarkJames
@Anonymous,
I expected the Dataset to be named the same as the name we saved the Usage Metrics Report.
But I was able to find Report Usage Metrics Model! Thanks for the help man!!!
