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.

RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
I have a colleague suggesting Apache Zeppelin as an alternative to Power BI embedded for external reporting. That would bring a whole lot of new complexity but if I could schedule refresh on an embedded pbix model I wouldn't have even brought it up.
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
This is absolutely a #1 Mission Critical requirement. The Power BI team should issue a Stop-the-Presses directive until this feature is released and supported.

Alternatively, I would settle for an SSAS connector via gateway.
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
Just spent 6 weeks developing a PowerBI Embedded solution. Then find out I can't refresh the data!!! I'm stunned. I need to refresh my data hourly. And I have hundreds of reports in a SAAS project.
Can we please get some indication if, when this will be fixed? Please.
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
'+3 I honestly cannot believe MS shipped PowerBI embedded without a data refresh capability. What use case is PowerBI actually fulfilling without a data refresh, I'm stunned.
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
About my customer case, this would be an interesting solution, as Direct Query on Azure SQL Database with DAX measures is not efficient at all.

A million votes for this.
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
Any ETA?
RE: Allow in-place data model refresh in embedded PowerBI
API for refresh on demand and pushing rows to existing datasets is necessary. Current C# SDK contains methods for pushing data, but they fail with Unauthorized status.
