Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI

[shhargrove1]

Today it is possible only to have a static data model or direct query. Would really like to have the mainstream refreshable data model available within the embedded offering. Would like to be able to control the refresh via API.

Good to see this is being planned, any timeline on this, please ?

This is also critical for me. I´m trying to use direct query in my reports but they have complex queries, so it is immpossible to work this way. We need any solution from the Power BI team.

This is becoming very important need now for us to meet all Power BI embedded requirements. MS team please get this as soon you can. Much appreciate!

Is there an ETA on this? We have clients that will go with other solutions if we cannot make this work on a scheduled refresh.

Can anyone on the team give an idea of when this will be incorporated?

Also, once such scheduled refreshes are supported...I would like to use the UI in the Azure Portal to schedule refreshes, in addition to being able to control the refresh with via API. Similar to how I can schedule refreshes in the Power BI Service. And as prerequisites to that... 1. I would like to be able to use the UI in the Azure Portal to create/edit/delete Workspaces (and give them friendly names), just like I can do with the Workspace Collections that contain them. 2. Then, I would like to use the UI in the Azure Portal to import/delete/manage the PBIX files (within the workspaces) that are consumed by Power BI Embedded.

This is a must have feature. When can we expect this?

[fredrik_goranss]

Would it be possible to get around this (until a better solution is available) by doing a new import of an updated .pbix file to the REST API for imports (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt243840.aspx)? The nameConflict parameter let's us overwrite existing datasets, but would that also update any embedded reports using that dataset?

Badly needed

It's a must have feature for Power BI embedded.
