Fill manually cells from an imported excel input file

Hi Power BI User,

 

I'm facing with a problem in PBI. In this case I would like to import an excel file , here an example:

It is a survey where the user should be able to fill the cells "fill manually" with a standard response. Is possible to fill manually the brown cells? I tried with a conditional column but i don't want to add a new column but just fill the existing column with a a manual input.

 

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the advice, maybe I will solve copyng just the field of the survey as a new table and then fill the cells!
