Many Microsoft 365 admins use the Microsoft 365 Usage Analytics Power BI template app to track adoption, usage trends, collaboration activity, and service-level insights across Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive from a centralized dashboard.
Microsoft has now announced its retirement.
Retirement timeline:
• June 1, 2026 – New downloads of the template app will no longer be available
• August 1, 2026 – The app reaches end of support and existing dashboards will stop refreshing
After August 2026:
• Associated data pipelines will stop functioning
• Reports will no longer receive updated data
• Historical exported data will remain usable outside the app
Microsoft recommends moving to:
• Microsoft 365 admin center usage reports
• Microsoft Graph APIs for custom reporting and integrations
No direct replacement for the template app will be provided.
