    Hi. No you can't import a PowerBi Dataset. You can live connect or direct query. Both scenarios might take the whole dataset. If you are building the reports you can just hide a filter for "Yesterday". If you already have the data in the dataset then it should be a problem like thinking "I will take one day to keep it smaller and faster". If the whole dataset is there and works, then don't worry, the backend just query that.

    I hope that make sense
