Writeback Commentary in Power BI via Power Apps

-
Upgrade your commenting game by writing comments directly on a Power BI report page Most dashboards lack any kind of qualitative explanation that would enhance the experience for the end-user. This is especially important in executive dashboards where managers want to read some explanations why something has happened, why is some KPI below the plan, and so on. There are a couple of ways how to implement dynamic commentary in Power BI, but only one of them allows users to write the comments directly on a Power BI report page. In this session, we will demonstrate how to build a Power App for dynamic commentary, how to include it into a Power BI report, and roll it out. The Power App will then react to filters and allow users to write back their comments directly in Power BI. We’ll show you how to do it step-by-step: 1. Create a table for the comments 2. Include the table into the Power BI model 3. Build a PowerApp  Registration : writeback-commentary-power-apps-webinar
