Creating PBIR Files Dynamically Based on Dataset – Any Guidance

[bmidhun]

I’m looking to create Power BI Reports (PBIR) dynamically using either C# or PowerShell. The goal is to generate PBIR files dynamically based on a given dataset.

Any guidance, insights, or helpful resources on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @lbendlin  Thanks for replying back

Apologies for the confusion earlier — it's PBIP, not PBIR.

Our request is to replicate the exact folder structure of the PBIP file, as outlined below:

Report
  .Report/.pbi
  .Report/StaticResources
  All platform files, including definition.pbir and report.json

SemanticModel
  .pbi
  definition

We’re essentially trying to understand whether it is possible to dynamically generate this complete PBIP folder structure using C# or PowerShell.

Any guidance or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the Fabric REST APIs should be able to do that

Power BI Desktop project report folder - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

"During the Public Preview, Fabric Git Integration and Fabric REST APIs continue to use PBIR-Legacy (report.json) when exporting the report definitions. However, if the report is imported into Fabric using PBIR format, then both features start exporting the report definition using PBIR format."
