Hi all,
I have a very particular situation at hand on which I would appreciate some feedback.
We have a PBI dashboard running in the service
The data behind it follows the following route
--> CSV files are stored in a particular location
--> they are being uploaded to an SQL server using a simple script
--> PBI connects directly to this SQL
For new data, this is perfectly fine, it works as expected. Now my customer wants to be able to modify exsiting data without having to go into the original CSV files...so basically, he comes in the office, looks into his dashboard, sees something strange (or wrong), and wants to edit/modify the particular lines that contain the error without having to scroll through endless lines of CSV files...
What tool or solution would be suited for this? In a perfect world (I know it doesn't work like that), customer notices a strange number, double clicks the data, is lead to the related rows in the data set and can edit them straight away there...
Any creative ideas that solve (part of) this issue?
Many thx
Jan
Power BI can't write back to your data source so this won't be something you can handle with PBI. If your customer doesn't want to open the CSV, I'd suggest they learn some SQL to modify the data in the database (which may get overwritten by the csv but that depends on your script). You could also consider changing how your data is stored and using something like a SharePoint list instead.
