[RiccardoBefore]

HI

Is it possible to publish power bi reports without using Power BI desktop? (for example using powershell...)

Thank you

Hi @RiccardoBefore 

Yes, you can. plz refer to the REST API to achieve this:

@RiccardoBefore , I found one video showing that. If you have not explored that in the past. check this out -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fs5v-TDkpk

Thank you @amitchandak 

I did the tests and everything worked correctly. I used New-PowerBIReport. To rerun New-PowerBIReport I first deleted the report using Remove-PowerBIReport . But Remove-PowerBIReport clears only the report and not the dataset, and when I review New-PowerBIReport I find two datasets.

How do I delete a dataset with Powershell?

Thank you for your help

@RiccardoBefore , This refers to this documentation, if this can help

https://github.com/microsoft/powerbi-powershell

At a first look, I did not delete a dataset, But might have to look more.
