Please follow below steps to Programmatically create a Power BI dataset with data source connections;

1.Define your model with SQL Server as the source using the Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Tabular library.

2.Connect to the Power BI workspace using the XMLA endpoint and deploy the dataset.

3.Use the Power BI Admin REST API to set data source credentials after deployment (XMLA doesn't support credential input).

4. Make sure you authenticate with a gateway or service principal to securely manage credentials.

Please continue using Microsoft community forum.
