Hi, unfortunately, in the native exchange online and defender reports you only see a limited period (usually 30 or 90 days). If you have to cover an entire year, you'd better export the data periodically-such as every month-and then consolidate it manually. You can do this either from the portal (downloading the reports) or via PowerShell, saving everything for annual reports.

    Hi micheleariis,

    Thanks for your reply.
    Too bad this is not possible. Manually export the data is not convenient. So I will look into Powershell what I can use to export the data to CSV or something else.

    As far as I see now, the data which Explorer (in Microsoft Defender) is showing suits the must. I'm going to look for the Powershell cmd-lets I need for that...

    Kind regards,
    Arjan
