Command line arguments to control startup

We would like three command line arguments for Power BI Desktop. The first would suppress the splash screen when Power BI Desktop is starting. Sort of like the Excel /e The second would allow us to pass in a PBIX file we want opened. The third would cause Power BI Desktop to open the PBIX file without the authoring pane/toolbox that normally comes up on the right side of the window. In other words, just show the contents of the PBIX file. Thank you.

  • And more options to update/publish automatically by command line
  • Would allow a .pbit or .pbix file to work on a known schema in any environment by using Server and Database name as parameters.
  • How is this still not implemented after 6 years?


    Passing arguments at the command line would be awesome.
