Passing Data from Power BI service to underlying Data Source

Hi There,

 

Is it possible to pass data from a Power BI service to the underlying data source?

 

For e.g., I have a visual showing list of students and their marks scored in a recent assessment. Can I select certain students from the visual and mark them as promoted? Doing this, the value for the 'Promoted' column in the data source will be marked as "Yes" for those selected students.

 

Please excuse me if this sounds strange, but still, I would like to try my luck to check if anyone of you had this kind of thought and already tried it in the past. 

 

If this cannot be achieved, please at least reply with 'No'. Your comments are very much helpful.

 

Thank you,

Bharath.
