Power BI does not currently support the dynamic generation of .pbix files via code using external data while preserving pre-defined visuals and layout. This feature would allow developers to use a .pbix or .pbit template file as a base and generate customized reports by injecting external data sources, such as CSV or JSON, through JavaScript or API integration. The ability to export full .pbix files on demand, with all visuals and themes already in place, would bring Power BI in line with other Office tools like Excel and Word, which support similar automation through scripting. This would be extremely useful for applications that need to generate personalized reports at scale, automate recurring report generation processes, or integrate BI dashboards into external systems. Providing a supported way to recompile .pbix files dynamically or generate them from structured templates would save time, reduce manual work, and expand Power BI’s usability in modern development environments.
