Hi Anonymous 

I already voted up the idea Microsoft Idea  · Export the data into Excel by using R language code, this is working in desktop level not in PBI Service (powerbi.com). The problem is, that this idea has a red "NEED VOTES" label on it... Was created over a year ago, and nothing happened yet. Installing a small package should not be such a complicated task.

When can we expect something to happen in this area? 


I looked at the already installed R packages on the Power BI Service platform, and only found a package "gdata" which is able to export csv/text files. I would like to export excel files. For this I would need the previously mentioned "openxlsx" or the "XLSX" package from R. 

 

Is there another workaround or package which one can use to export to excel using R in power BI service?

Thank you
