PowerApps Write Back to Excel
- 1 year ago
Hi Williams25k
I have written quite extensively about write-back to Power BI from Power Apps:
Fabric/Power BI Write-Back made easy w. Fabric SQL Databases – Downhill Data
The key question is whether or not you need the data to show up in your report live, or if you can wait until after a refresh?
If you can wait for the refresh, your best option is a Sharepoint List, which will minimize license costs, as you won't need Premium Power Apps.
If you need live data, you need a Premium Data Source, like a SQL Database or Dataverse, and connect via DirectQuery in Power BI.
For more info, check out the links above for some of the options.

Thank you for your response. I suppose I'm ok with waiting for a refresh. Can you point me to a resource that shows the best way to do this with a Sharepoint list?
Your help is appreciated.
