    I'm stuck with a simple service because this feature is not available. Neither does it seem possible to create a unique primary key in the tables to avoid duplicate entries. Not sure how this does not have priority over other features.

    deto - we need to be able to update datasets. Otherwise this feature is unusable for us as an ISV

    I need this feature too.

    The workaround of deleting then adding new data right after causes the dashboard tiles to display (BLANK) for a few seconds, making that approach unusable.

    Yes.. this is a must to have feature. Cant imagine basic CRUD operations missing in a microsoft product.

    Hi, Any update on this change request. I am also having problem to add records in existing dataset (created by uploading the pbix file from desktop). I want to refresh the dataset by sending new rows via rest api.

    is this going to happen? having to delete all the rows of data and reinsert them all just because 1 field in 1 row has changed seems like a bad idea.

  • Alison Hughes commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Ability to search for a set of rows and alter them would save a lot of data refresh traffic. If a row is added incorrectly then the only way to correct this is to delete all the rows and re add. I am dealing with large quantities of data, so the rebuild can take hours, and hitting powerbi with thousands of add row requests.

    More than 2 years since this was opened and still nothing? This is super super essential of any Database. Did no one teach PowerBI about CRUD (Create Read Update Delete)?

  • Steve Menke commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I just started to look into use push data sets and I updating rows is a common use case for my data. So this is a must have.

    @charles sterling (Admin, Microsoft Power BI)

    Any update on this feature request? Is this feature coming or it's discarded by the team?

  • Arunkumar T D commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This is must to have. Even in Delete option, all the records are deleted. not a specific row. This is making us handicap to provide solution for the tables with 100,000+ records. This is very impractical to delete and insert rows every time. Please enable this feature ASAP.

    Also want to ask if there has been any progress in the last 6 months?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Charles Sterling, has there been any progress in this issue? Or is there a timeline for implementing this feature?
