Is it possible to update rows on database from a Power BI report?

Good evening. I have the following scenario: I have some tables stored in a  MySQL database (on my local computer) and I have created a report and published it in Power BI Service space. Successively, I put my report into an aspx page.

I can interact with the report. But I do not know if I can update a row on my MySQL database (for example by retriving a value with a click event on the report).

 

I found nothing about this. Is it possible?

 

Thank you for your answers.

No, it's not possible. Power BI is just a reporting tool, you can't use it to update the data back to your source database.
