New online service for different PowerBI files?

Hi,

I'm creating PowerBI Desktop reports and dashboards for multiple clients. I've created a new file for each client. However, when I integrate with services like MailChimp or Stripe, PowerBI uses the existing DataSource. It doesn't seem to save a different DataSource for each file, but rather one global set. If I have 2 clients (2 files) that uses their own Stripe data, I'd need to remove the Data Source each time and resign in. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

 

PS. I haven't published the reports to PowerBI Service yet so I don't know how this impacts scheduled runs.

I do not have a resolution for you on this other than to keep a separate Azure VM for each customer with Desktop installed or perhaps a different user profile (login) on a single machine would suffice. I think that you should definitely publish this to Issues because this is definitely problematic for the scenario you describe and that scenario is not at all uncommon. I would also post a couple of those files to the Service and see what happens there.
