Dears,
I have an excel file on SharePoint as the centralized data source. and there will have regular new data filess from teammates, I want to put all the new files in a folder and import them in Power BI. I created a new query to get the lines that are not in centralized data source. Then I want to insert these new lines in the cntralized data source.
How can I git it done?
I know how to insert data to database (access, SQL Server etc.) by using native SQL function. But I don't know how to writed back to excel.
Open the file and paste the data in could be a solution, but I don't want to let the end users do that way.
I know there is very simple way that we can put all the files in a folder, and using that folder as data source. Yet this approach is very slow once there are a lot of files in the folder.
What I'm trying to do is to separate data collection process and data visulization process.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsHi, Meguel,
Thanks for your help and sorry for my late reply.
Yes, use Power Apps could be a solution. Yet it also makes things more complicated.
Seems that it is not a good idea to update excel file by power BI. I may need do it by vba or something else, and just let power BI deal with data analysis and presenting.
Again, thanks for your help!
Hi @Anonymous ,
If your files are all in the same format the best option is to use the sharepoint folder connection.
check the link below with the complete details.
