- Product
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Reviewing site usage and popular content analytics in the SharePoint dashboard.
- Observed behavior
- The report displays the message 'We do not have enough data to show here' instead of showing expected page visits and analytics.
Confirm that your SharePoint site has actually received traffic recently, and check if you have the necessary administrator permissions to access the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
Submit a Service Request via Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Since analytics outages require backend investigation by Microsoft, creating a support ticket is the most effective way to restore your reporting data.
When SharePoint's backend analytics processing experiences an outage or a syncing error, site owners cannot fix it through standard site settings. It requires an official investigation by Microsoft's backend support team.
Reach out to your organization's Microsoft 365 administrator or IT department, as only designated admins can create official support tickets.
Have the administrator log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using their administrative credentials.
On the left-hand navigation menu, click on 'Support' and then select 'New service request'.
Provide details stating that the SharePoint Site Usage popular-content report is displaying 'We do not have enough data to show here' despite having previous page visits, and submit the ticket for Microsoft to investigate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does SharePoint Site Usage suddenly show no data?
This typically occurs due to a backend analytics processing delay, a temporary server outage on Microsoft's end, or recent uncompleted configuration changes to your SharePoint environment.
Can a regular site member fix the SharePoint analytics reporting issue?
No, regular site members or even site owners cannot resolve backend analytics outages directly. The issue must be escalated to an IT administrator who has access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center to contact Microsoft Support.
How long does it take for new SharePoint analytics data to populate?
For newly created sites or recently uploaded content, it can typically take between 24 to 48 hours for the usage data to be processed and appear in the popular-content analytics reports.
