Hi,

 

there is an api to set the connection of a dataset for SQL Direct Query mode,

see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt748181.aspx

if you have multiple customers with different datasources you should upload a report per customer / datasource and set it's connection.

 

Thanks,

Mahir.

    Thanks Mahir for your resonse. We can replicate the reports for each customer /datasource , as its a manual process, we wanted to know either this is possible by passing parameters from web aplication for the embedded power bi report.
