Help! DataSource.Error: ADO.NET: R script error.
- 6 years ago
The problem lies in the path that Power BI follows to get the packages.
1. Go to your R IDE and find out where R goes by typing .libPaths().
2. Then, go to Power BI > Transform > R Script and see where Power BI is going
3. Make it a df <- as.data.frame(.libPaths())
4. See if Power BI has the same list you do.
5. Add this one line to the top of your R script in Power BI .libPaths(.libPaths()[i]) where i is the line with the address that matches your R IDE
6. Voila!

Thank you very much for this post. I encountered this error today. However I still have problems when trying to implement this. Kindly advise format in the [i] above as I get an error message on this. Should the address be enclosed in quotes?
Regards,
Chris
