How to Add a Row in Power BI

Adding a row in Power BI can be achieved by using the Power Query Editor. The following steps outline the process:

1. Open Power BI Desktop and load your desired data source.
2. Click on the “Edit Queries” button in the Home tab to open the Power Query Editor.
3. In the Power Query Editor, select the table to which you want to add a row.
4. Click on the “Append Queries” button in the Home tab. This will open a dialog box.
5. In the dialog box, select the desired data source (e.g., table, Excel file, etc.) that contains the row you want to add.
6. Click on the “Append” button to append the selected data source to your existing table.
7. Once the appending process is complete, click on the “Close & Apply” button to apply the changes and load the updated table into Power BI.
8. You should now see the added row in your Power BI table.

Here’s a simple example to illustrate the process:

Let’s say you have a table called “SalesData” in Power BI, and you want to add a new row with the following values:

To add this row to the “SalesData” table in Power BI:

1. Open Power BI Desktop and load the “SalesData” table as your data source.
2. Click on the “Edit Queries” button in the Home tab to open the Power Query Editor.
3. In the Power Query Editor, select the “SalesData” table.
4. Click on the “Append Queries” button in the Home tab to open the append dialog box.
5. Select a data source (e.g., Excel file) that contains the values for the new row.
6. Click on the “Append” button to append the selected data source to the “SalesData” table.
7. Click on the “Close & Apply” button to apply the changes and load the updated “SalesData” table into Power BI.

After these steps, the “SalesData” table in Power BI will have the new row added.

Remember to save your Power BI file to preserve the changes.
