Write back comments from visual from report on report server
I have the same requirement and have followed a similar thought process to yourself. One thing I have been trying to find the time to prototype (but have not as yet), is using the Javascript API and the dataSelected event:
https://github.com/Microsoft/PowerBI-JavaScript/wiki/Handling-Events
My plan was to create a web page with a simple form and an embedded report. When the user clicks on record X within the report, listen to the dataSelected event and storing the ID of the record and linking them to the data recorded in the form (e.g. a comment).
This is all theoretical, I have no idea if it will actually work like this! If you get anywhere would be great to hear about it.
Anonymous - Is it at all possible to use the API for a powerbi on the powerbi Server? According to this it's not available or am i misreading ?
I think you're right - what a shame! Thanks for posting your findings - hope the API supports on premise Report Server at some point soon.
Wouldn't it be possible to build a custom visual that can do this ? Calling the REST API

Would anyone know if it is easy to build a custom visual doing this ?
Hi,
We have solved this. You can write-back to SQL Server and/or SQL Tabular or Azure SQL and Azure Analysis Services. A lot of companies finds this helpful.
