Today it is possible only to have a static data model or direct query. Would really like to have the mainstream refreshable data model available within the embedded offering. Would like to be able to control the refresh via API.

As of June 2017, The Power BI service and Power BI Embedded came together to offer a single API for embedding your dashboards and reports. This means you now have one API surface, a consistent set of capabilities and access to the latest Power BI features – such as dashboards, gateways and app workspaces – when embedding your content. You can read more about it here- https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-embedding/ For those who work with the Power BI Embedded Workspace Collection solution, we built a migration tool for easier data transition.

This capability is very much needed

Critical for production. Without the possibility to access and update datasets and reports independently from each other, no one is going to use it in the long term.

Yes, for my customers this is also very necessary... direct query is quite limited, but import mode we can not use, because there is no easy (maintainable) way on how to refresh report.

I hate to sound like a typical executive, but this is needed yesterday.

The current status is "Planned", but an ETA would be much appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be any way to embed reports for a large number of customers since manually refreshing .pbix files isn't feasible.

This is a very important festure. Hopefully you'll soon be inline with Microsoft strategy to support on premise, hybrid and cloud connections :-)
