Acterys Matrix: Edit and Forecast Inside Power BI | Writeback Use Cases Ep. 3

A standard Power BI matrix can’t change a single number. The Acterys Matrix can. It’s the flagship writeback visual, built for finance teams who want to adjust quantities and unit prices and watch revenue and performance update in real time, all without leaving the report. This walkthrough shows an analyst building a forecast directly in Power BI.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to edit data directly in the Matrix instead of going back to source systems

✅ Three ways to make changes: free-form entry, percentage increase, and bulk updates

✅ Saving changes to a budget, forecast, or what-if version of data

✅ How edits ripple instantly through outputs for everyone on that version

The Matrix is where planning actually happens inside Power BI.
