Create a query/report in Visual Studio
Thanks for your reply, and yes that is what I want to be able to do, to create a pbix programmatically.
At the momment I create a view programattically and use this as a data source for reports. However, each view created for a customer (and there could be 100's) needs a few measures created as well as getting the data into the report.
It would be excellent if the pbix could be created programmatically including the measures, so the user does not need to be concerned with using DAX.
That's my aim. Seems like other products can do this, so Power BI should open up an API also. I've added my votes.

Maybe one view for all customers and the customers can see their own data? Power BI does have a Row Level Security feature.
It's more the ability to create measures programmatically that I am interested in
Then you have to vote up the idea in my first reply.
