Power BI dataflows provide a great medium to syndicate sets of data to business units to run analytics. It enables faster access to reporting data.

While there are highlevel utilization metrics on PBI reports, there is no way to measure dataflow utilization and uptake. It is critical to PowerBI success to understand the number of reports currently connected to any given dataflow and quantity of refreshes. Without a method to measure adoption and utilization of each dataflow, growth and ROI become guessing games.

RE: Measuring Power BI dataflow

That is something I am also looking into. Hopefully Azure Purview will be the answer to the lineage and downstream users (datasets, linked dataflows).
