Create multiple dataset regarding customers ID

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).

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