Write back functionality in PBI report

Hello there, I am trying to achieve the Write back functionality in Power BI report through Power Apps. I have created an App but it is not able to update the data in backend (SQL server). I am suspecting, this is happening as I am getting "View text" in the Control type option for each field used in the app. I have seen this option is showing as "Edit text" instead of "View text" in multiple videos. Due to this many people are able to update the data in backend but I am not able to do so.

 

Can you please suggest any solution of this. I am unable to paste any screenshot here to explain the problem in better way but if anyone can help me then please share the email address I will share the further details there.

 

Thanks

Prashant

    Well, it seems like you are using a View form for the data versus an Edit form for the data. Probably a better quetion to ask in the PowerApps forums.

      Hello Greg,

       

      Thanks for your response. 

       

      I am using Edit form not the View form. Yes, as mentioned by you I will definitely ask the same question on PowerApps forums.

       

      Regards

    HI prashantsingh05,

    As Greg_Deckler said, your requirement seems more related to power app. If you have any advanced requirements about writeback feature, I'd like to suggest post to power app community to get further support:

    Microsoft Power Apps Community 

    In addition, you can refer to below link about use power app to writeback to the database:
