Novice user here. I have a PowerBI spreadsheet set up which takes its data from inputs made through a power app in Dynamics 365. Normally, data is inputted in the PowerApp and can be displayed in PowerBI. However, I would like to be able to also modify the underlying data in PowerBI (some users, myself included, don't like the power app as an input tool and would prefer to work exclusively with PowerBI).
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks

HI @mcquillank.
No, it is impossible.
Power bi only support get data from datasource, it not contains any writeback functions.
