Hi All,
Is there any way we can create a persistant variable OR add or modify data in a table using DAX or any other method?
Thanks

Hi,
Writeback to Tabluar with both Import mode and Direct query is fully supported with Visual Planning from Power ON. There is a great video here to get you started. http://poweronbi.com/powerbi-visual-planning/
You can also load data from Power BI to SQL with their solutions: http://poweronbi.com/2017/06/power-update-from-power-bi-desktop-to-sql-server
Power ON also has a Table Editor that lets you edit SQL Tables in Power BI Service directly. http://poweronbi.com/visual-table-editor/
Contact info is feedback@poweronbi.com
Visual Planner turns Power BI into a fully fledged Goal Seek and Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting solution.

You can create a persistent variable inside a measure (persistent constant actually). You can't change values in a table. It was announced at The Microsoft Data Insights Summit that writeback is coming soon.
Thanks Matt
Is it possible to share some more details on how to create a persistent constant inside a measure?
