    So, for dashboards, there is no on-premises publishing solution that I am aware of. There are 2 on-premises solutions for publishing in general however, Pyramid Analytics Server (don't really know much about it) and the new (upcoming) feature of SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services. There is also Power BI Embedded but not sure if that would work for you in your circumstance as it is also essentially cloud-based.

     

    Question, why not the cloud?

Hello,

 

I have came across the same problem. I have a .pbit / .pbix template which uses DirectQuery SQL database as data source, whereas server address and database name are extracted to parameters. There is also a parameter which holds a ReportId, which is used in queries. And I need to create a report from this template using my parameters. 

 

Did anything change since 2016? Are there any interop / SDK options for Power BI Desktop files now, or, perhaps, it can be edited in the document if I open it as ZIP file? 

 

Thanks!
