 In the downloaded spreadsheet, you can see usage per Azure resource (for example, Log Analytics workspace) per day. In this Excel spreadsheet, usage from your Log Analytics workspaces can be found by first filtering on the "Meter Category" column to show "Log Analytics", "Insight and Analytics" (used by some of the legacy pricing tiers), and "Azure Monitor" (used by commitment tier pricing tiers), and then adding a filter on the "Instance ID" column that is "contains workspace" or "contains cluster" (the latter to include Log Analytics Cluster usage). The usage is shown in the "Consumed Quantity" column, and the unit for each entry is shown in the "Unit of Measure" column.
