Editing information directly into Power BI Service

Is it possible to edit information on Power BI service live?   I am currently using slicers to allow the field to drill into the data. They are asking if its possible to enter information directly...

    Hi there

    You are correct, that you cannot enter data directly in the Power BI Service.

    With that being said, you could create a Power App, which you could embed into your Power BI Report, which would then allow them to write back to the source data. And after a refresh it would then appear in the Power BI Report.

Yes it will work. You import the Power Apps Custom Visual which allows you to interact with the Power App and if you configured the Power App to complete write back it can do it inside the Power BI report in the Power BI Service.
