Using Power BI for asking surveys

Running a quick Google search provided me the idea that Power BI can be used to perform surveys. The only issue is I had the impression that questions where coded within the Power BI dashboard.

 

Here is what I have and would like to do. I have a database with all the questions I want to ask. I want to have Power BI pull the questions and present to the user in the dashboard. Let the user answer the questions. Maybe on each question being answered, the answer is posted to the backend (REST api). Another part of the dashboard or another dashboard in general would be used to retrieve the data and present the analyzed results to the user.

 

Summary

* Power BI to get question from the backend through a REST api

* Power BI to post the answers to the back end's REST api

* Power BI to get the analyzed results to present back to the user (either a websocket or a REST api)

    Bad idea. Power BI has no serious data write back capabilities.  Consider using PowerApps instead.
