Automating Dataset Copy

Hey,

 

Using Power BI Embedded with dynamic binding, I'm trying to use a single report to display various different datasets which I've successfully completed, however, now I'd like to automate copying/creating datasets so I can present the relevant data depending on the user. How can I automate creating duplicates of the same dataset (internal SQL server) that reference the same tables, but filter the rows based on a parameter? Also, ideally this would use direct query instead of import. Thank you.

with the same dataset (pbix) under a different name.  You probably want to use "skipReport"
