Why usage metrics are crucial?
Power BI usage metrics are crucial as you can demonstrate your influence and set priorities for your work by being aware of how your content is being used.
It may highlight that a dashboard you built may not be viewed at all while one of your reports may be utilized everyday by a significant portion of the organization. This kind of feedback is crucial for directing your job efforts.
