Thanks for your feedback, this can help me.

We only actived the audit logs on 8/10, but I can't see the history of our previous months.

Is there a way, I can see them?

Kind regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

I found you raised another thread with subject Power BI Audit logs about this similar problem. As @lbendlin replied, user and admin activity from your organization begin to be recorded in the audit log and retained when turn on auditing. It will not record and retain the acitivity information for your organization if turn off auditing in Microsoft 365. I'm sorry that currently I don't have any feasible way to help you get the data earlier than August 10... 

The following blogs may help you in the future.
