Published Power BI R Visual Missing Category Names

I've created a few visuals using R in Power BI. I can't get the names of the different projects to show up when I publish the visual though. It just replaces the names with 1, 2, 3, and 4. I've included a screen shot of what the visual looks like in Power BI desktop and when I publish it on the service. I've also included my code below. Is there a way I can fix this?Desktop VisualDesktop VisualService VisualService Visual

# The following code to create a dataframe and remove duplicated rows is always executed and acts as a preamble for your script:

 

# dataset <- data.frame(Project, Spend, MAmountPostive)

# dataset <- unique(dataset)

 

# Paste or type your script code here:

library(ggplot2)

library(gridExtra)

library(scales)

 

color1 = "#75CDE5"

color2 = "#223974"

s = 3500000

 

All1 <- sum(dataset$Spend)

All2 <- sum(dataset$MAmountPostive)

 

categorical = append("All",dataset$Project)

actual = append(All2,dataset$MAmountPostive)

target = append(All1,dataset$Spend)

 

data <- data.frame(categorical, actual, target)

ggplot(data, aes(categorical, target)) +

geom_col(fill = color1, width = 0.7) +

geom_col(aes(categorical, actual), fill = color2, width = 0.5) +

geom_text(aes(label = paste0("$",format(round(actual/1e6, 1)),"M"),
