Pretty self explanatory - would be great to be able to stream a dataset, or grab a specified number of rows. This would also require the ability to query the # of rows, size of dataset etc, column t...
What happened to my earlier comments?! I had said something along the lines of, since we use pbi to elegantly query multiple sources and combine to produce new tables, it is crazy to repeat these same transformations in other tools against the same sources to find the same results. This will lead enterprise users to skip powerbi and instead only use those other tools, perhaps using powerbi later as a viewer but we'll definitely avoiding 'creating' any irretrievable value in powerbi. API access to read datasets is a no brainer and enables our data to become programmatically accessible and actionable rather than just shiny visuals. If necessary limit the API in terms of rows or frequency of queries. Our data wants to be free! Our actions want to be automatic! Our humans don't want to be obligated to micromanage all actions that can be influenced by the data we've fed powerbi. Similarly we would like to read dashboard tiles/kpi values. If that were available we could ensure each actionable scenario was captured on a pinned kpi for 'alerts's or complex flow actions.
