Can someone help answer two questons for me? 1. What type of data sets are ideal to use R scripts on? 2. Can someone provide a link to a tutorial video on how R scripts visual works within Power BI?
I have located the R Scripts Showcase Gallery in the help center, just now need to work backwards from there. Thanks in advance!
Have you looked at the tutorial that Microsoft posted?

Keep in mind that by default, the visuals are all SVG images. If you want to make it somewhat interactive, then you will want to incorporate ggplot2. If you aren't familiar with R yet, then learn the basics of that first before attempting to build a visual, because you will need to think through not just the operations that you want R to do, but also the dataframes you want to pipe from PowerBI to R.
