    llawn001 sounds like your question is more around writing data back to the source , in this case it is excel. PowerBI doesn't have that functionality but you can embed PowerApp in PowerBI which is for data entry and allows to write data back to the source. Hope it answered your question.

Hi Parry,

 

Thanks for the quick response - do you have any literature on how I could embedd PowerApp into BI desktop? I think that sounds like a possible solution to the question I posed and would like to see if I can make it work.

    llawn001 there are lot of posts/blog on it, here is link to one. although you need to develop a powerappl (whcih is super easy) and that will get you started.
