    Hello @v-evelk

     

    Thank you for the recomended materials... There are good starting points in learning R.

    Until then... I hope I will get enough votes on the Improved table visual - dynamic column names ideea so it would be implemented without needing R. 😁

     

    Kind Regards,

Hi @v-evelk

 

And thank you for your time. Unfortunately I'm not an R expert too... 🙄 and the recommended code is way to complex to find a "clue" to solve my problem.

 

Maybe Microsoft will publish some tutorials specifically designed for R & Power BI... 😉

 

Kind Regards,

Lucian

Hi Lucian,

 

Technically, there aren't so many Power BI aspects in R code for R visual. Only a couple of them is reading of format panel options and buckets to build dataset.

In fact, to write R visual, you should know only R language.

If you want to figure out how to work with dataset, you should learn R, may be this and that articles will be useful.
