@Handian Sudianto ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to know the total bandwidth charges of all the Azure resources in a specific time period.

From Azure Portal,

• Navigate to the subscription and select "Cost Analysis" from left pane.
• 
• From the top right, (highlighted as green), change "Cost by resource" to "Services"
• Once done, you can change the time period as required.
• Under this new tab, you can get the "Bandwidth" cost
  • 
• As inbound data transfer is free, you will see all the egress data transfer's cost.
• NOTE : Bandwidth refers to data moving in and out of Azure data centers, as well as data moving between Azure data centers; other transfers are explicitly covered by the Content Delivery Network, ExpressRoute pricing or Peering
• See : Bandwidth pricing.
• Similarly, you should be able to see the charges for Peering/ExR separately.

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil

Hi,

First you need to export the details, download, open it up in Excel/Sheets/etc., filter on meterCategory column = Bandwidth. At that point you can take a look at quantity column as well as analyze by resource group, location, resource, etc.

There are multiple ways to export. For example, one method is via Cost Management and Billing - Exports blade. You could do one-time export to storage account, and then after it runs, navigate to the storage account -- Containers -- <containername you chose> -- <directoryname> -- <exportname> -- <date range> in other words, continue to drill down until you get to the file, then download it using context menu (three dots) on right.
