Purpose
This tool may be used to get your product usage data in a single table in a CSV file. This allows for self-discovery outside of the restrictions of a formatted report. You may view all Export Jobs that have been created by other Admins and Co-Admins at your account.
There is an option to automatically generate a Data Export Job on a schedule and save the file to a specified location. More about Scriptable Exports here.

Contains data from: E365 Usage. This is only available to accounts part of the E365 program. |
Machine And User Usage |
It does not represent an existing Subscription Analytics report, but contains usage data with both user name and machine name. Exact row count does not necessarily match either Daily Usage by User or Daily Usage by Machine reports - it is possible that more than one user logged into a machine, etc. |
Usage Date
Most of the reports have some type of a UsageDate column. When the CSV is viewed in a plain-text tool such as Notepad, the column is visible as a YYYY-MM-DD format.
Depending on your default Excel settings, if you open the CSV in Excel, you may need to change the column format.
