Need help on creating/cloning report with new data programmatically

Hi All,

 

I am new to power bi, and since few weeks trying to figure out a feasible solution for cloning/duplicating a report and linking it to new data correctly.

 

I have a scenario wherein,

  • I get a csv data file from multiple clients
  • Now, for a single client, I can surely go to power bi, and can upload the csv file to create dataset and then can create report.
  • But, all the clients, I want to automate this process.
  • Can anyone please guide me on this, regarding possible approach to do following programmatically:
    • Able to populate new data either in dataset or somewhere in power bi
    • Create new report (clone/duplicate of earlier one) and point it to newly populated data
    • Get the embed url and token for newly created report

PS:

  • I tried Clone-Rebind reports api. It doesn't work with programmatically created datasets. And, after cloning into new workspace, it doesn't give access to created shared dataset via api. I have spent almost 2 weeks to play around this.
  • I don't have windows machine, so, can't use power bi desktop always. But, if it helps to generate some file like .pbix which if possible I can modify programmatically, then I can give it another thought.
