Add manual data to duplicated table? Or use powerapp?
"enter manual data"
Are you asking for yourself as a developer, or are you expecting this to be available to a Power BI report viewer?
Thanks Ibendlin
I'm definitely no developer. I'm just teaching myself and just didn't know if this was even an option. If not, that's fine but if so, perhaps you or someone could point me in the direction of a youtube video explanation or give me some kind of general instruction.

Power BI is a reporting tool. It has no memory, everything is reloaded each time you run a refresh (ignoring the whole incremental refresh topic here as it doesn't apply to your scenario). You would need to do what you describe in a system further upstream (like in your folder structure).
I guess I shouldn't really be referring to Power BI but Power Query. There is a manual data entry table and I'm wondering if you can attach it to an existing query/table that has been pulled in and "cleaned" from a folder on OneDrive?

Yes, what you describe is possible with Power Query. But it is not very elegant, and not designed for frequent interaction.
