Another exciting update from #MSIgnite: Write-back to Fabric Databases using Power BI! One of the most impactful new features planned for release in 2025 is the ability to perform direct write-back to Fabric Databases using brand-new #PowerBI visuals. This functionality lets you go beyond traditional reporting. Now you can write back data, update records, and even add new data directly within Power BI—all with standard functionality. For organizations using #MicrosoftFabric, this unlocks a whole new level of efficiency. It... → Streamlines workflows → Eliminates unnecessary data exports → Makes Power BI even more powerful for driving real-time business decisions What do you think about this new feature?
True power (😉) is in the collaboration! Thank you for sharing, Dennis. How's your experience at #MSIgnite so far?
Much more welcome, I used apps but it's not well received from customers. Can you please share more details
So are you talking about automating the current export data from visual?
Is this utilizing the BPP visuals which are currently only bundled with F&O premium license? We are building in Fabric and this is great news for my team!
Long overdue!
We have done this with PBI and power apps combination but its not optimal. Dennis Carriere any rought estimation of preview schedule?
Not to burst anyones bubble but third party software (including MS ISV's) have been offering write-back into Power BI for quite some time already, you have the big ones Aimplan, Acterys, accoTools just to mention a few... Good stuff incorporating this into Fabric though to provide a 'complete' solution for your business in one place with OneLake and all though. Can you say where the write-back will happen? To Dataverse, lakehouse, warehouse or straight into OneLake? Parquet, delta-parquet or some random format? 😅
It’s already possible using Power Apps Visual to manage a connection in Dataverse or an SQL database, but this requires a Power Apps Premium license to use connectors with the ability to write back in real time and these data sources have to allow DirectQuery mode on PowerBI. One way to achieve this is by using a SharePoint list as a database, but real-time write-back isn’t possible with that approach, so it doesn’t really make sense, haha. Including this feature as part of the Power BI Premium license would be a great addition. Databricks has already taken a significant step with Databricks Apps, which allow users to insert data through a user-friendly UI. These features will greatly scale the types of solutions that can be developed.
Hey Miguel Myers, is this already in the Roadmap for a particular quarter in 2025?
