Without the ability to define my model in Excel or the Power BI designer with relationships and DAX calculations and column properties/formatting, it's going to be very difficult to get my dashboards to work and look as I want. I would like to be able to upload an Excel or Power BI Designer model then use the API to push new data into it real-time. I'd also like to be able to schedule refresh and decide what happens to the API pushed data during scheduled refresh. For example, I may upload a model with 100,000 rows, then use the API to add 5,000 new rows. But during scheduled refresh those 5,000 new rows are also in my SQL source so I want to wipe out the API pushed data upon scheduled refresh.

Hi Greg, this is definitely on our plan thanks. We'll be spending time on building out the APIs over the coming months. Thanks!

Hi, do You have any information when this functionality will be released?
This would really give us a way to use thePowerBI rest api in nontrivial solutions.
