We desperately need functionality like this. I am working to create a Power BI report based on web survey data and there are several dozen questions. There is a page for each question and each page is essentially the same except for the variables shown, but each page requires creating dozens of (very similar) measures for each question and then displaying graphics. We need an API that can automatically generate a report with dozens (or hundreds or thousands) of very similar pages, so I don't have to create measures and edit each page manually. Without this functionality Power BI is not a suitable replacement for SSRS for certain projects which require creating hundreds of very similar pages. Also this would make it a lot easier if we want to implement a change (e.g. modify layout or styling) on every page, we can just modify the layout once and regenerate the report instead of manually editing dozens of pages individually.
