Hello @chotu27,

Which R packages do you use?

Power BI doesn't support some R packages. You can find a list of supported packages here.

@v-viig Hi thanks For responding .

  I use below packages for the R visual

1.  library(ggplot2)
2. library(gganimate)
3. library(gapminder)

The second two libraries haven't been approved by Power BI team.

This is why they might have some issues.

Hi @chotu27,

Currently Power BI have 2 types of entities for R-based visualization: 
-  R-visual (will grab and show image from your graphical device, PNG-based) 

- R Custom Visual is of two types: PNG-based, HTML-based

HTML-based visual will show any HTML file generated in code, but it has to be self-contained (single flat file). So theoretically, it is possible make it work in Power BI, but not straighforward. 

You welcome to send me (boefraty@microsoft.com)  the R-code sample and we'll try to guide you. 

P.S. And we will need to request missing packages for service.
