    Hi,

    We have requirement to update the data source connection programmatically. We deploys same PowerBI report for multiple cleints, only we need to update the data source connection. Our complete process is taken care by SSIS. Using SSIS or C# or powershell, we need to update our data source without open the PBIX everytime in PowerBi desktop to update the connection.

    Looks similar to https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/Deploying-POwer-BI-Reports-to-Power-BI-Report-Server-Using-RS/td-p/208354

    and
    https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/282523-bi-in-sql-vnext/suggestions/7497163-enhance-deployment-options-without-visual-studio

    But as far as I can tell, there is no option to do this with PowerShell at least.
