What it does

Writeback Grid lets users modify data in Power BI and send those changes to multiple data sources. Its web service connects the visual component with a backend without retaining data. The free edition permits one record per writeback and displays a watermark. PRO uses per-user pricing, while PREMIUM uses a flat per-instance price and supports managed or self-hosted service operation.
