I need to allow analytic users (with no development experience) to change/write values in my database (it could be in a xls file either).
Any ideas on how to do that?
Tks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
As far as I am aware and as otherws have said before you cannot use power bi to change the source system. You could hide certain IDs in the power bi report either dynacmically based on a column in the soruce data or manually using a slicer or page filter.
If you want to change the sour ce system you will need another tool either instead or as well as power bi.
Hi bix_00001,
When data in data source changes-> data in data model level (Query Editor) will be changed-> data in data visual level (Report) will be changed. However, we can implement the sequence above inversely so we can't change or write values in database.

Power BI can't write back to source data (whether it's a database, xls, etc.), and there's no way to edit indivudal fields in the Query Editor (at least not by typing anything in). The tables don't function like they would in an Excel file.
Power BI isn't the tool you're looking for here - you need something that handles database management, not visualization.
Hmm, I see.
But is there a way to call a JS function or something like that?
The problem I have to solve is:
There is a list of bug IDs being displayed in Power BI, and once people solve (or want to ignore) that bug, I need to remove it from the list.
Any ideas on how to do that? The front-end must be 100% in Power BI.
I wonder if you have found a JS function to write back data since then?

There is a replace values option in query editor but your data would have to be consistent.
