Could Power BI read programmatically Files (perhaps HTML)

Hi Guys,

I'm new to PowerBi and I'm encountering a problem that I would like to create PowerBI reports but I don't have the dataset, only have reports that created from the dataset, so I'm wondering is there a way to describe programmatically to PowerBI++ a GUI layout so that PowerBI++ can render/create/build the screen from a JSON file or other kind of format file?

 

Thank you!

Hi @MMMaaavis ,

 

To my knowledge, you could only create reports when you have Build permissions on the dataset. Such a scenario could not be realized currently.
