Writeback functionality in Power BI Desktop

Hi All,

 

We have a scenario where we are migrating a web application reports into Power BI.

 

In one of the reports in web report user has a flexibility to add, edit and delete the record, Similarly , we have a requirement to write back the add, edit and delete records which has to be updated in the Oracle DB.

 

Is there any other way to achieve this? If so, please help us with the same.

Hi @Pragadeesh 

 

In Power BI, you do this by embedding a Power Apps app into the report, then doing clever stuff with Power Automate between all the components (Power BI, Power Apps, Data Source).

 

It's not for the faint of heart, but here's the MS Docs on the matter:
