Geom_text labels not recognized when loading Custom R Visual

Hello,

I am trying to display a timeline visual using R/Plotly into Power BI. I currently have my script working at the RStudio and yet when I tried to use the imported visual into Power BI (using the method in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKVEgeshlMM), it seems the labels don't appear and instead I just see a solid line. When copying my script from RStudio into the Power BI Editor, the static version seems to work just alright but also not the interactive Plotly visual I was hoping for. I wasn't certain if it was a package issue as I have ggplot/tidyverse installed or if this was just a limitation with R in Power BI?

The line that doesn't seem to be working or that doesn't seem to get recognized in the R/Plotly version is:

timeline_plot<-timeline_plot+geom_text().

Attached is a picture of the visuals:

Any thoughts on how to work around this?

Thanks so much!

Hi jaechavez,

You can take a look at the official document about r visual usage to confirm if your scenario meets the limitations:

Create Power BI visuals using R - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

BTW, I'd like to suggest you check the R script configurations first if power bi can't correctly recognize these packages.
