    Hi jaimeroncero ,

    By default, Power BI Desktop doesn't include, deploy, or install the R engine. To run R scripts in Power BI Desktop, you must separately install R on your local computer. 

    Then I think you can go to File > Options and settings > Options. Under Global, select R scripting.

    If you want to know more about this, I think you can read this document: How to create geographic maps in Power BI using R (sqlshack.com)

     

     

     

    Best Regards

    Yilong Zhou

    Good morning , and thank for your info. The link is very ussefull.

    I have created a map in R with leaflet, and when I load it into Power Bi in R script, I get an error: "no image has been created, the R code has not generated any visual, Please make sure the R script results in a plot on R's default device."


    My goal is to load with R, using any library, an interactive map that can click on spatial objects (polygons, points, lines) and return values ​​of their attributes.
    Could it be that R Script cannot contain this functionality in Power BI?
