  • an empty table object (2) appears
Adding a Table Visual
Next, the table needs to be populated with appropriate fields. To add fields:
  • find wanted fields by entering a term in the search input field(1); you can also scroll and find fields in appropriate tables
  • select (2) or drag and drop (3) one or more fields from the Fields pane to the table visual
  • selected field appears in the table (4)
Adding Fields
Make sure to add the following fields to the Table visual:
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups].Teams and Groups Name
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups].Type
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups].Created On Date
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups <-> Users].User Name
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups <-> Users].Users.Email
  • [Microsoft Teams and Groups <-> Users].Microsoft Teams and Groups.Role Type
The image below shows the report after adding all mentioned fields.

Tip! You can rename fields by double-clicking the current name in the Visualizations pane.
The last thing left to do is to filter the report data to show new Teams and Groups only. To filter the report:
  • select the Created On Date option (1) instead of Date Hierarchy - this will change date display from multiple columns into a single date column
  • adjust the filter settings for the Created On Date field (2) - here, you can adjust the settings to suit your specific business needs
  • adjust the filter settings for the Role field (3) - select Owner role only for the report to show Teams and Groups along with owners

Below, you can see the final look of the created report.
