In this video Power Platform MVP, Reza Dorrani will use the Power Apps visual in Power BI to add/update data in CDS using Direct Query Mode.
The Power App will refresh the Power BI report instantaneously and provide a virtually unlimited refresh scenario.
The Power BI report is using CDS with direct query mode to not rely on scheduled refreshes or imports.
SharePoint Import Mode is also covered as part of this video.
