Thirty seconds of typing, and the planning app exists. This is Acterys agentic AI running in the Acterys Fabric Workload. I describe the asset planning model I want in plain language, and it builds the structure, the input grid and the write-back wiring, inside Microsoft Fabric, with nothing leaving the platform. The part worth watching is what happens after the build. The grid is editable. Those edits write back to the database (Fabric, Databricks, SQL, etc). No refresh, no export, no rebuilding the dataset. Generating something that looks like a planning app got easy this year. Generating something you can run a cycle in did not. #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #FPandA #Planning #thefutureisnow

53 seconds from prompt to planning app. That’s the new Acterys App Builder Agent at work. A business user describes the planning screen they need in plain English, and the App Builder Agent recommends the right write-back visual, reads the data model to recommend where entries should be written back, and then builds and configures the screen to spec. In the video, that’s an asset planning table with asset type, scenario, cost, useful life, salvage value, alternating row colors, and a comment column, all built inside the Acterys Fabric Workload in Microsoft Fabric. Self-service reporting has been around for years, but planning screens have mostly stayed in the data team’s backlog. The App Builder Agent changes who builds them. For data teams, the guardrails stay where you put them. Dropdown values come straight from the dimensions in your model, write-back destinations are recommendations the user reviews and accepts, and every entry is written back to governed data in Fabric. Business users get the screen they asked for without filing a ticket, and you don’t inherit another spreadsheet process to clean up later.

This is only a 12-second clip, but it’s the thing I find myself demoing most often. Change one assumption. Watch everything downstream update. No waiting. No 'give it a minute.' Just answers. Finance & Sales leadership live and die by their ability to answer “what if?” quickly. This is what that should look like.

Most people know us for FP&A. Fewer people know we do serious S&OP work — and that it lives on the same platform, with the same data, as the financial plan. Here’s what that looks like in practice: a demand shift, a supply constraint, and the financial impact — all in one view, without exporting anything to a spreadsheet. For supply chain and finance leaders who’ve ever tried to reconcile two “sources of truth” at 11pm before a board meeting: this one’s for you. #Sales #operations #SupplyChain #Planning #powerbi

Blackmores Group cuts demand forecast preparation time in half with enterprise write-back in Power BI. With planning spanning 13 markets, regional teams needed a more consistent way to work with demand data and update assumptions across the business. Acterys introduced enterprise write-back, giving teams direct access to planning data across regions and allowing changes to pricing, volumes, and other assumptions to feed into the wider forecast within the Power BI environment. That helped Blackmores reduce demand forecast preparation time by 50% while bringing greater consistency to planning across regions. Read the full Blackmores story in the comments.

Twenty-seven seconds, no cuts. That's real Excel, and it's running inside Fabric. Not an export. Not an i-frame. Not "Excel-like." Your formulas, your formatting, your tabs — sitting directly on the model everything else in the platform reads from. Watch what happens after the edit, because that's the actual point. The value writes back to the database. Power BI moves at the same moment. Behind that Excel surface is the whole stack: modeler, planning engine, workflow and approvals, audit. Business stakeholders carry on exactly as normal, and governance, lineage and security never leave Fabric — which is where IT wanted them all along. That's the part that took years to get right. Nobody has to change how they work for the platform to stay in control. This is the thing I demo most often, and the one that makes most people go quiet for a moment. We'll be demoing it on loop at STAND #3 in Barcelona. #MicrosoftFabric #PowerBI #Planning #writeback #FabConEurope #VAMOS
