Hi Mystery,

AFAIK, power bi desktop does not include any writeback features. It is a reporting tool that is used to get data from specific data sources and design charts and visualizations.

If you want to do writeback operations, you may need to use external tools or integrated external features. (e.g. powerapps, r script, python)

Using Python in Power BI Power Query Editor - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

Use R in Power Query Editor - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
