SentimentR package generated an "ENVSXP" error

Hello Everyone,

 

I have been trying to perform text analysis using R and PowerBI, but one particular package - Sentimentr keeps giving me errors. 

 

I am using PowerBI desktop to run an R transformation using Sentimentr to create Sentiment scores for a text in the dataset.

However, the moment I run the R-Code, I am presented with an error DataFormat.Error: ENVSXP without any specific information on what might have caused the error.

 

 

Can you please help with understanding what might be wrong or how to circumvent the error for Sentiment results ?

 

Please note that while I am using PowerBI Desktop (August 2021 release), the code runs perfectly in R-Studio. Additionally, Sentimentr package is fully supported by PowerBI service to the latest version 2.7.1.

 

Thank you all for your time and help !

      Thank you ! I did check the thread, but I think a resolution was not reached to the problem. The only other comment at that time (2019) was that the package was not supported by PowerBI, however, the package is now supported. Yet the problem still exists in the running the package through PowerBI.
