Hi Anonymous,

 

While it's true that Power BI itself doesn't support direct writeback functionality, I suggest you try using the Power BI User Feedback Pro custom visual as an alternative for collecting notes and feedback directly within your Power BI report.

 

This custom visual allows users to enter comments or notes, such as explanations for delays, and submit them in a structured way, all within the Power BI environment. The feedback can be stored in various locations like SharePoint, Excel, or other data storage systems, making it more efficient for tracking and reviewing user inputs.

 

The User Feedback Pro visual can be easily integrated into your reports and provides a more seamless experience for your users to input feedback directly on the report page, without the need for external tools like PowerApps.

 

Let me know if you'd like more information on setting it up, or need further assistance!
