Create multiple dataset regarding customers ID

Juramirez — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 19:10:34 GMT

Hi all

I'm wondering if is possible to create multiple datasets regarding one datasource and when I refresh them via Power BI API, it takes each one as one separated regardless if they comes from the same DataSource. I mean, something like this:
I have 3 Customers: A, B and C (each one with a unique identifier).
All of them are in the same app and their info comes from the same DataSource.
What I want to do is to create one dataset to each Customer and this way I have 8 refreshes per day per DataSet (24 refreshes for one single DataSource).

This mean that when I publish them to my workspace, i must see 3 datasets (it depends of how many customers I have in my report) in my workspace instead one.

Is this possible?

Regards

8 refreshes per day is a limitation on a dataset, regardless of the datasource. You can create different reports for individual users, even though the datasource are the same.

By the way, to lift the 8 times limitation, you can either use DirectQuery mode or purchase Power BI Premium license(48 times refreshes per day).

Thanks @Eric_Zhang.

Solved it creating multiple reports from one data source and publishing them to different App Workspaces.
