Three years ago, write-back to Power BI was my gateway into the Power BI community.
Power Apps embedded into Power BI, enabling write-back to Sharepoint, Azure SQL and Fabric, and sharing those solutions with the community, have always been some of the most fun I’ve had with “work”.
However.
While Power Apps are relatively easy to build, the solution architecture quickly becomes complex. Especially when you consider governance, CI/CD and licensing, all of which balloons in size when you are forced to integrate with a new platform (Dataverse/Power Platform) to solve a seemingly small issue in a Power BI report.
