Would love to see that feature released soon! Here's a post that describes my irritation with the current workflow, maybe it has some input on a good expected behavior: https://support.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi/suggestions/7093112-updatable-pbix-xlsx-datasets

Yes it's a challenge for me. I have one report template that I need to pass to different areas of the business. I was hoping to import a PBIX file and then use the API to clear and push data.
