Enable ISVs and system integrators to generate "personal" PBIX files that have a ready-to-use data model and set of filtered data so that a user can navigate into an "exported" dataset. It would be very useful in many applications and service. This could be the format to exchange data models and not just data. It can only provide benefit to the Power BI service also in terms of user adoption,

Great idea, Marco. Our Developer APIs are still evolving and this is great feedback. Anyone else think this is an area in which we should invest? Please vote!

RE: Provide API & Library to create local PBIX files
Must have. Like power pivot in beginning there was no api, then with excel 2013 and some updates it started to be very usefull tool to ISV
RE: Provide API & Library to create local PBIX files
I completely agree with this request which is done several times in a different ways.
Every ISV needs to work with the local PBIX using API (.net library) to change the data model or to change the data source connection.
Absolutely important of any ISV and System Integrator.
RE: Provide API & Library to create local PBIX files
Two days ago we did a meeting with Aviv and other guys and we talked about this and we explained that there are a big opportunities in involving software house and ISV with this feature.
RE: Provide API & Library to create local PBIX files
This would be a great opportunity to change the connections strings / database without any user interaction.
