    Yes, you can use parameters to indicate if all rows should be read or 0 rows should be read.  You cannot not read, because power query needs the meta data.

Thanks. What is fragile here that if user will download report before i will update parameters he could change parameter manually (because power bi user belongs to Customer Tenant) and see all data if conection string was there. 

Best,
Jacek

Hi jaryszek ,

 

If you have premium workspace s.Use deployment pipeline and provide access to only prod workspace and don't provide access to dev/test workspace.

 

I hope it will be helpful.

 

Thanks,

    Thanks.

    the issue is that data, customer user, power bi workspace - eveything is on Customer Tenant. 
    And my company external app will connect via service principal into their workspace and generate embedd token in order to render report in my app. 

    So i can not have a lot of choice - Customer can go, see his workspace and and download reports as he wants to. So I want to publish report without data. 

    Best,
    Jacek
