Provide a way to programmatically refresh data from a PowerBI Desktop file.
For example using a cmdline: "PBIDesktop.exe MyReport.pbix -refreshAll"

I believe that this functionality is crucial in the automation of BI solutions. Tableau has this functionality already and it helps distribute the workload of refreshing/publishing to other resources or automated services.

Command Line Control is what is needed! Can always go the SSRS/SSIS route!

Someone posted about Power Update tool, but when I ask about it to my reps no one knows anything about it. Where can I tell them to get it?

I think this option is already available in Power BI. Like Travis said, you can use a scheduled refresh of your dataset.
