I imagine this is going to be included within the ability to edit connections, but I would like the ability to edit an existing query or add a new one from within Power BI. Another option would be to overwrite an existing spreadsheet with one including the new queries, though conflicts might get messy.

Hi Ollie! Thanks for the suggestion. We're already working on improvements to the management of existing connections and data sets in the service. Stay tuned for updates!

RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Let's not rush things .... perhaps we should give them another 10 years for this one?
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Is there an update?I'm trying to use the Datahub more, but I am still not able to filter the data in the query itself. Maybe anyone has a tip on how to do this?Example:I have a datetime table already in the Power BI Service with another report. Now I do not want to upload this table multiple times, so I connect to the dataset via the Datahub. This is a DirectQuery-connection. However, I need a date table in the new report (not date and time), so I want to filter the dataset so it takes only the date and 12AM time. I can not find any way to do this online or in the forums.Is it possible to edit the query of the Directquery-connection with the Power BI Datahub?
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Any update on this feature?
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Still waiting for this......
Whenever I need to edit an existing report/dashboard, I need to download a copy, edit, then re-publish, breaking links to the previous report.
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
How come this wasn't implemented since Dec 2014?
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Was working on BI Service and was not able to find this anywhere, was it ever implemented?
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Looks like this is similar to: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11036421-edit-queries-option-in-powerbi-com
(which oddly enough has more votes, but nothing from admin...)
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
I reckon Powerbi Online is still light weight. Ideally build everything on powerbi desktop and publish to powerbi online. If there is a single table to play around with, then direct upload to powerbi online, build report/dashboard and publish, for more involved stuff, powerbi desktop seems to be the only option for now. Good to have similar features of power bi desktop on online version as well.
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Not sure why this wasn't implemented from the get go. Would love to see this feature added soon.
RE: Edit or add queries from the web
Any news? Experience is cumbersome without this feature.
