If PowerBI desktop has an IO api, PowerBI Desktop can become part of data processing providing data of different granularity and dimension. Instead of creating multiple PBIX files because of different granularity, I could create one PBIX, programmatically extract multiple data sets with different granularity, then feed each data set to PowerQuery for data enrichment or ETL. The current option is to create multiple PBIX file for different level of granularity from the same data sources or adopt a snowflake data model which is confusing to end user and difficult to maintain.
