Question

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of how to create a customized Power BI usage report by leveraging an already-generated Usage Metrics Report dataset, following the least-effort path recommended by Microsoft.

Approach. When the Usage Metrics Report dataset already exists, the minimum-effort sequence is: (1) Open Power BI Desktop, (2) use 'Get Data > Power BI datasets' to create a Live Connection to the existing Usage Metrics Report dataset (no data modeling or ETL needed), (3) build the custom report using the live-connected dataset, and (4) Publish the report back to the Power BI workspace. This avoids rebuilding the dataset, avoids manual data extraction, and reuses the auto-refreshed, pre-built semantic model - satisfying the 'minimize development and administrative effort' constraint. Using a Live Connection is key: it means no import, no scheduled refresh to configure, and the report always reflects current usage data.

Concept tested. Power BI Usage Metrics customization - specifically, how to connect Power BI Desktop to an existing Usage Metrics Report dataset via a Live Connection and publish a custom report, rather than recreating the dataset or using manual data exports.

Reference. Microsoft Docs: 'Monitor usage metrics in the Power BI service' → 'Customize and share the usage metrics report' (learn.microsoft.com/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-usage-metrics)
