It would be great to write back functionality in Power BI so that users in PowerBi desktop or PowerBI web service can write back to an SQL server database or to a Sharepoint list. It is very important when planning budgeting, budget follow-up and forecasts

Manually enter data in numeric, text, dropdown, and date formats. Entered numbers can be automatically allocate to the descendants based on prior year values, equally or based on a trend. This capability can be turned on/off in reading view or enabled based on a condition. Values entered automatically update other visuals in the report, and the audit log tracks every change in value. Learn more about manual data entry options here.

RE: write back

It would also be nice to have write back capability for manually entered tables so that the data could be entered directly from table and matrix table reports in Power BI Desktop instead of going through the "Enter Data" dialog. Entering data directly in a matrix table instead of the "Enter Data" dialog would add powerful context making it much easier to populate a user defined table.

The Write-back to database capability from Power BI table visual is very important to including forecasting information

RE: write back

Yes please. The Powerapp embedded visual is a step in this direction, but the user experience remains poor. We need to emulate the same simple user experience as people have when they edit data in Excel
