Is it possible to track Powerbi consumption/usage in Microsoft Purview? In the properties tab (or any additional one) to be able to view the report opening statistics who saw the report, -how many people used it, -how many people opened it, -whether the report was opened on a mobile phone or from a website/desktop and similar statistics, which we have available in powerbi Is there currently a feature/possibility to see the above with Powerbi report in Purview? Is it possible that in the future there will be such a new tab with the use and consumption of the report?

Hi Karolina Gora , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your question. I understand you want to know if it is possible to track Powerbi consumption in Microsoft Purview or not. At the moment, Microsoft Purview does not have a built-in feature to track Power BI consumption/usage statistics such as who saw the report, how many people used it and other insights. However, you can use the Power BI audit logs to track the usage and consumption of Power BI reports. The Power BI audit logs provide detailed information about user activity in Power BI, including report views, report interactions, and data refreshes. To use the Power BI audit logs, you need to enable auditing in Power BI and configure the audit log settings. Once auditing is enabled, you can access the audit logs in the Power BI service or export them to Azure Log Analytics or Azure Event Hubs for further analysis. Hope it helps. Kindly accept the answer if it's helpful. Thankyou

We expect to be able to treat Power Bi reports in Purview - to be able to add new tabs.
Let me know if it is possible to implement similiar feature in the future.

Hi Karolina Gora ,

It's not possible to track power bi activity directly from Purview.

Common scenarios of PBI in purview: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/how-to-lineage-powerbi

After a Power BI source has been scanned, lineage information for your current data assets, and data assets referenced by Power BI, will automatically be added in the Microsoft Purview Data Catalog.

Data consumers can perform root cause analysis of a report or dashboard from Microsoft Purview. For any data discrepancy in a report, users can easily identify the upstream datasets and contact their owners if necessary.

Data producers can see the downstream reports or dashboards consuming their dataset. Before making any changes to their datasets, the data owners can make informed decisions.

Users can search by name, endorsement status, sensitivity label, owner, description, and other business facets to return the relevant Power BI artifacts.

Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our Azure Purview feedback channel, which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product team to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

Hope it helps. Kindly accept the answer by clicking on accept answer button. Thankyou
