Can the Query Editor make changes to source

Hello Community,

 

I understand that by default the Query Editor in Power BI doesn't make changes to the source data. However, is there a way to get the query editor to also make changes to the source data?

 

Thanks

@Anonymous Unfortunately, Power BI is not intended to do any INSERT/UPDATE at source side. You need to do through an ETL process before loading or importing into Power BI for analysing or visualizing the data.
