This is the single most impactful Power BI video I have seen… anywhere. Many UA-camers teach and demonstrate applications, but The creativity you apply to your solutions makes you a standout and front-runner among your peers. Awesome work!
John, thank you very much for the kind feedback :) really appreciate it!
Amazing!
He's the Paul Davids of Power BI :)
I haven’t even started the video but just by this comment I know it’s going to be good :)
He is terrific, but he learns from other youtubers who aren't as famous, and then makes their solutions more bite-sized, edited, and aesthetically-pleasing. No question he brings value, but it's always good to credit who you learned your tips and tricks from.
I have leaned a lot from you ! Your videos are condensed with small tricks and information that makes the watcher move forward quickly. Thanks you man !
I decide to watch all your videos. Its incredible! Cant wait to learn more about the difference between import and direct query. Sir, can you make a video of that? Big Thanks!
Great video, I ended up building something similar about 6 months ago! The data source I was using was import only and what I did was included a visual that appeared if the data set had been refreshed in the last 2 hours that said to the user not to refresh the data. Fortunately my power bi report wasn't having data entered it was more having dynamic parameters that were stored in OneDrive.
I have seen dozens of videos talking about integration, but yours is the only one that actually teaches how to do it effectively. You are the best!!!
Thanks a lot Alan! This made my day!
Thank you sir. you are Genius. your video helped me to create my first power bi report integrated with power apps and power automate. God bless you sir. you are just amazing teacher. you make even the difficult topics very easy to understand.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was about to use only Microsoft form and have an URL reference from my PBI report. But this is so much better and updates the source right away!!! Great video!
Fantastic! Happy to hear it helped :)
Thanks for the video. I have been strugling with writeback for a few weeks. first time i notice you kind of "please work", face ... but i still think its quite tricky. thanks again, love your content
That’s great thank you for the thorough walk through!!
I wish there was a way for the user to just write directly in the cell and be able to copy paste down - like in excel
nearly 40k views but only 28k subs, cmon guys , this is amazing content!! Show Bas and the team some love
I was searching ALLLLL day for this solution on UA-cam and through Google. I wish I had remembered that I received a notification for this video.... Oh how the stars align. Thanks Bas!!
Chris, glad to hear my timing was right, hopefully next time too :) take care
Great content and super useful. Just a little comment, would be great if you can share the full screen instead of snips. It'll help us locate where things are. thanks a lot!
That is great, I hope you continue posting more about these other tools such as Power Apps and Power Automate, and how they can help our Power BI Reports. Great video!
That's the plan! +1000 other topics ;)
Also, I know it is kind not what you are trying to show here, but it would be nice to see the steps of setting a simple excel table into the SQL server or Data Verse. Thanks!
Excelente explicación y paciencia para brindar buena e importante información. Te agradezco mucho, de seguro que lo pondré en práctica. Abrazo! BMAZ desde Buenos Aires - Argentina 😊
This is Brilliant, for those people for whom the intial filtering of data set didn't work from desktop and you're scratching your head, you need to first upload the dashboard to the service and then it will work.
How do you do that?
Hi Bas, Really gained knowledge out of this video to implement at my work. The way you explained is really AWESOME... Thanks a million and keep going....
A quick tip: create a measure in powerbi for selected value, and pass that to powerapps. Like this you can add an overlay message in the powerapps, where if the passed measure value is blank or erro you can sho a message with "no item selected".
like this you will not have always the "first item" of the list ;)
Go
I'm looking for a video on how we can do that. Please help me with how i can set it as a new form by default and when i select it shows the related record to edit. I'm not using the gallery as shown in the video and a single screen for edit and adding a record
Right in time for my Project. Thank you @How To Power BI!
That was such a helpful and useful tutorial. Thank you for being very clear 😊
I really enjoy your videos. They are complete and very enlightening! Could you please make a video on star schema in Power BI. It is a confusing topic. Please show a project on how to use it. Thanks!!
Love this! Clear, easy steps and some interesting stuff re refreshing data sources which was me to me. A bit about power apps subscription requirements for each option would be the icing on the cake.
thanks will keep this in mind for the next time :)
Hi, this was extremely helpful. Thank you so much! I really needed this, I'm currently working on something similar and you explained it so well. One question though: can I use a .txt file generated from an ETL job as the source dataset in Power Apps? Thanks!
Bas my man, you saved me big time with this video !! Very good content !!!
Hi BAS.
I really like your videos.
I often run into a problem when I need to move the filter context to another page. But detailing is not applicable in my case, because it transfers all the filters of the original page, and not the one I need.
For example, I want to highlight on the first page a certain product that customers bought, but I don’t want to transfer the filter where and when they bought it. Those. I only need to sync the filtered ClientIDs.
It would be great if you cover this topic in your videos.
Thank you very much for your work!
Amazing!!! Thank you so much for the excellent demonstration!
I have watched many videos, good work here. Learning alot
Thank you. This was super helpful.
How can this be modified to write to several cells in a column?
I would like to use this to validate records, but I would like to validate a selection set instead of a lone value.
Hi Bas, really interesting video and so simply explained. I am going to apply the learnings in current video. If you dont mind can you please tell how did you manage dividing the screen and show what you were typing at the same time while speaking. It will be of great help to me. Thank you.
Great video and I decided to test this. I run into problem however, as the PowerApp is created to different environment than where my data is. This will require some investigation to find out if I move the app to another environment or define in Power BI which environment to use with Poweraps.
Great great great .... Video waiting this kind of video for so Long Thankyou very much ... This is much needed in every organization by financial team
So nice of you :) thanks for all the kind words!
Hi! Thanks for video. I have a question, can i edit summarized data in table with PowerApps? For example i need to edit summarized forecasts in table to view changes in whole year.
Hi, many thanks to you!. I have a question, regarding using SQL database, it works on Powerbi Desktop, but when I went to PowerBI service, it didn't work and I can't see the app and the table as well. I tried to figure the issue out but I could not ...we'll be highly appreciated
Great video.. thnkas a lot... even a year after it is published:
I have a questiion: the source data (excel) that I want to write back is connected to an dataflow and the report is connected to this dataflow. As consequence, the refresh would need to run in a sequence... Write back data to source excel --> refresh dataflow --> refresh dataset. Is there any intelligent solution for this?
Thx a lot
Mindblowing Bas! Honestly I am very new to PowerBI and I am just slowly grasping the possibilites of it. Great video
:) wonderful, especially power apps integration opens up a whole new world! Good luck with it 😎
This is good. I am also using xls from one drive and able to update data however it does not reflect I power bi for about 30-50 sec even if I do manual refresh multiple times. Is there any work around for this or any setting needs to change
Great Tutorial, answers a lot questions. Thanks
What a useful video, often a facility need to explain to people and now will just send them you video thanks excellent .
that's great to hear. Thanks for watching Amanda!😊
Great video as always, just a quick question, is it normal for there to be almost a 5 minute delay after submitting the form and the visual refreshing? I have to hit refresh on the browser quite a few times before I see the update on my table visual. I am using the power automate method for refreshing my dataset.
Hi! Kinda new to Power BI here... first of all, great video! It gave me a lot of ideas on how to edit datasources way easily. I just have a question... does that DirectQuery option of refreshing on the spot also works with an Azure Databricks query?
Great video. I have worked with this myself and I have expirienced some of the limitations.
If your dataset contains large amounts of data it will not fit into the powerbiIntegration Object. The limit looks like it is 2000 records.
If you include multiple fields from your power bi model into the powerapps visual then each unique combination of values in those fields will be represented by a record in the powerbiIntegrationObject and the limit is still 2000 records.
This means that you will very fast run up against this limit and you will get no warning when you exeed it. The data will just be missing in the integration object.
Also when using direct query you have to be really carefull or prefornance will suffer.
Is there a possibility to have more than 2000 records in your source file?
@@EagelzOfficial Use Filter function on Datasource before apply the condition for specific item
You absolute legend thanks for this i was wondering why my dataset with 2.1 mil records refused to work
Hey Bas!
Amazing work.... Love your videos,
Followed this and able to write back data!
Just an issue I'm getting that I want that bookmark way to pop up power app visual, but the selection made in the table doesn't carry along, any idea about this?
Hi Bas, this is great. I would like to try it but it the Power App visual that you use is not available for me. Could it be that I need a newer version?
Thank you for this video. Could you tell me if it's possible to use power apps to write back to let's say Excel or Smartsheet all the report data plus user's input IF the source of that report data is coming from Snowflake. I know that SF is a premium connector so would such a workaround be possible at all? If yes, would that just require Excel or Smartsheet as data source for power apps to be selected? Thank you!
Hi Bas, great solution. thanks.. I am working on a report that has a SQL source. Because users dont have Premium licence, they cant write back to SQL. They will write back to a form in sharepoint. from here it can update the SQL. How do i load the app with the line i have selected. ie. data from PowerBIIntegration source?
is this a good work around?
Thanks so much! It works ❤
One question, hope someone can help me out.. The app isn't sharp in my Power BI. Something with the size I suppose, but I cannot change the size. Anyone advise on how to handle this?
Great explanation ! You are the only one explaining clearly. What I do not understand is if I have users in parallel logged in the system, if I can use the same Planning tool, to plan for example on different cost centers. So they do not plan on same data, but each one will input data on different cost centers. Can this be done in parallel ? So is the PowerBI application a central planning tool, or everyone should have for example the powerBi application sitting separate on a sharepoint folder dedicated to him/her ?
Very nice demonstration .Thanks for sharing.💙
Hola gracias por tus videos , tengo una pregunta tengo un cliente que quiere ver las ultimas 8 semanas del informe y luego seleccionar hacia atrás en el tiempo y que se vayan sumando a esas 8 establecidas , la verdad no se como hacerlo crees que podría hacer en power apps como un filtro dinámico de fechas que se autoseleccione en base a una condición??
This video was very helpful for me! Is there a way to enable multiple filters? In your video, you show how to do it by Client ID. In my situation, I have two filters where the first is "customer" and the second is "region", and I want to have it so that users can writeback comments to "customer 1 + America" vs. "customer 1 + Asia".
Thank you for sharing, inspiring seeing how you work, and passing knowledge…
My pleasure! thanks a lot for your kind words!
Yes, What john Samuels has said is absolutely correct . I have a question on this write back functionality ,
what if we dont have an ID column , How to work with such kind of things?
This video is great, but have a quick question, should the datasource for powerBI and powerApps be the same?
Please clarify
I deeply appreciate this video !!, thank you !!.
I have implemented the same solution using the trio application on the power platform. I created a custom app wherein there are more functionalities and the refresh is using power automate but I'm not refreshing the whole dataset rather using the xmla endpoint to refresh only the commenting tables. Unfortunately as my client is a bank it has some issues with data security and is in talks with Microsoft hence power apps and automate I couldn't use in production environment and I had to ultimately create it in sandbox environment as a POC
Awesome video!! It seems I am having trouble with the lookup formula. Using 'Goal_Id' where your client id went in the lookup formula. I am getting an error saying, "Expression Goal_Id eq null is not supported". Any insight on how to fix this?
Hey Bas, what about the sizing of the app, is it possible to make it smaller?
Hi Bas, Would you be able to show how to use Dataverse to add power app that will allow us to write back to PowerBI?
Hi,
Is there any way to formate values in multiline card,
As million because by default it shows whole value
The scope of this solucion si really inmense, great video as always. Greetings from Argentina.
PD: Hope this year "editing tooltips" will be easy
Thanks!! Very insightful video!! Just a question, when you said that pro licenses has an 8 limit, is this per day? Month? Ever???
Hi Bas
By using the First formula on the Item you always get the first item filled in the form eventhough nothing is selected in the native table visual.
How would you hadle this? If nothing i selected the visual should show Blank filelds.
Thank you for sharing with us this helpful video. But how about creating a form to get changeable data and represent it in Power BI?
Bas you're a legend and have a great smile. Thanks for the vid
Hi Bas, the formula at minute '6:51'... what does it look like in case of connection to a sharepoint list ?
Hi Bas and All, here's another question. I'm the owner of an Excel file on Sharepoint, which I gave access to the app through the OneDrive for Business connector. I'm also the owner of the app, so I should have all the access to the data source while submitting the form. But when I click on the "Save" button (which has a Submitform() event associated), an error notification raises. A successful notification is shown only if I leave the fields empty, then click on "Save". Any clue? Thanks a ton
Right now, this is only selecting my first and last row from my PowerBI table. When I try and fix the formula, I get an error under my "=" saying incompatible comparing text to table. Is there a way to adjust this, so every data point that is available in the table can be selected and edited?
Hello, if I want to change the Gallery to display multiple items instead of only the first one, how would we do that?
Thanks so much for this Bas , This helps a lot !
Awesome vid! My PowerBIIntegration is connected to a fairly large dataset. Any tips on how to apply a filter to the Item section to avoid the Delegation Warning?
This has me curious if I can have a form in my PBI report that will give me the option to give users a chance to add feedback about the report in the report, that notifies me when these submissions are submitted... 🤔🤔
Nice video! I have a question, this works when we have a Direct Query? I mean with a connection to a cube on Analysis Services
Hi
How can i add 2 TopN filter in same chart ??
Please suggest.
I was to restrict top 13 weeks and top 5 channels to project my sales.
Do the end users need power apps license after I share the report when they try towrite back with viewer role.
Very informative video. Do you have a video on how to delete an entry, not just edit it?
Hi Bas, thanks and what a greatest video I have ever seen for power bi. Just one question for integration, how could we write data from power bi to a sql server database. I am looking forward for the solution ❤❤
Amazing tutorial, congratulations! Thank you very much for sharing this
You're very welcome Matheus! happy you enjoyed it :)
I was trying to follow your step but since the beginning the fields I choose weren't pull to the power apps web page, Do I need to have premium user account?
Would this also work if a user is viewing the Power BI report on a mobile device? Would they be able to write back from the Power BI app?
Hi Bas. Great job. I try to implement that for an "Internal Table" (Manual Table) inside my power Bi File. I can't find my fields to create a Forms. It Works from gallery. Is it possible to modify the content of "Manual Table" ? Thx. Regards.
Thank you Bas, great content as always.
What would you say are the pros / cons of embedding PowerApps inside of PowerBI, versus embedding PowerBI inside a PowerApp through tiles?
Have a use case where a small team is responsible for reviewing a report, and adding comments on a monthly basis.
To use sql or dataverse at end you need pro power apps per user…
Hi will the lookup work with matrix visual?
Is it possible to apply this on a editable grid? so that the users can edit all items then click submit
Hello do you have a video on how to set up the last option with Message button?
This is amazing and a great video, really well explained. I working on something similar, but I want to use Power Apps as a notebook while consulting infomration from a Power BI Dashboard, the Dashboard extract information from a Cube-Data Base, does anybody know how can I start with the connection?
Hello Sir, I really like your teaching method. its amazing. you have a great knowledge. sir i have a small question though. the issue i encountered. say if you have an empty NULL cell in sql server table you can write it with power apps in power bi. but the problem is once you write something you can change it with some other value but you cant make it NULL again. I will be thankful if you can help in this sir. Regards.
amazing video! Thanks for all the details!!
Glad you like it :)
I’m running into patch errors when I try to do the same thing here with an excel file in sharepoint. Whenever I try to update the record, I get the following error:
Network error using patch function: the specific record could not be found. Any thoughts?
Is the 8 refreshes per day limit applicable to the first method too (Using Flow) ???
Come on. This was great!!!!
I'm thinking in different solutions already into my project with this video.
Great stuff brother
Awesome! Good luck Willian :)
Is a writeback option possible to an import query data? I have excel files in sharepoint and that is the source of my data
Dear Bas, could you help me to find the clue: when i press create new app - the web page is different then yours, it shows empty canvas and there is no data from Pbi....what is my problem?
Did you create this tut using power bi desktop or power bi service? I ask because I cannot get power apps to work with power bi desktop.
Is this possible if my source is a table from SQL Server db and I have write access??
Hi. Great video. But May be you can help me: where I already in POWER APPS Studio, POWERBIINTEGRATION .Data not bring any field.. any... (the imbedded option in the admin center already on).what is wrong?
That is really helpful. But I need to know more. I have created a button and behind that button, I have created a popup that has power apps visual. How can I show the input form by default when I press that button, now it is showing 1st item always. And I want to open a popup if I click on column value if it is not possible then I want to take control of the other page to edit or delete the record. The tooltip is not looking good.
This works ... but is SO complicated / clunky to get going. The cell should just be editable directly in the table like an excel sheet. No sausage making back end stuff that can break on you.
Nice video! I have a question. How many people can use an application developed with Power Apps? I want to switch from Google forms to Power Apps.
LOVED THIS! You are god sent!
Thank you so much!!
That's amazing. Our new ERP system sucks so I'm writing all these reports outside of the ERP for people, and this might open up a whole new world for editing back the data! My boss jokes that we're going to re-write the ERP slowly over the next 10 years, but....I'm not sure he's actually joking, hehe. Thank you!! Also, you're very peaceful and calming to watch :).
is this function available for power bi desktop?
