    Mohan1 Power BI has set of APIs that you can use. Check out this article on update table schema API. I am not sure if it will let you update table name but you can try it out. Also this one has table_name request.

      ankitpatira Thanks for suggesting Update table schema API, I tried this API its only allowing me to change the schema of a table not the table name. I tried in Power BI Apiary.

        Maybe you can have a Record value (named 'environment' ?) and it will contain your tables? You can easily use record's keys as table names.
