Write back options in Power BI with SSAS tabular model
The method used in the link you shared involves using Power Apps and making use of the Power Apps custom visual or the application this particular website is attempting to sell. Power BI itself isn't doing any write backs, but is simply surfacing up a Power Apps solution. Its Power Apps (and flow) that would be handling any of the data updates. The Power On app i have no experience with, but it likely has its own limitations. I'm unsure what access these apps have to the data within the report it is surfaced within, if any.
No not at all. Power BI is a reporting tool. It creates only read-only connections. There is an idea's area that is likely to have similar requests (i've seen many posts about a similar request). I wouldn't plan around this change occuring, but i suppose you never know.
Thanks for the reply. I understand Power BI is a reporting tool. But Oracle BI is also a reporting tool which has write back feature wherein user can write data to db and see the result back in UI.
Saw this link somewhere which talks about write back but need some more details.

Thanks again. Does Power app need extra license on top of Premium license we have .
Also any idea on the license cost of Visual Planning ?
Thank you for all the input.
