I'm using the full Anaconda 4.3 distribution, with Python 3, and installed R Studio through the Anaconda Navigator.

    I ended up installing R regularly on my machine and it worked as it should. However, when I switch to the Anaconda R through the Power BI Settings, I still get that error.

     

    Perhaps I should fill this as an issue?

      You could, but I am wondering if when installing R through Anaconda it isn't doing something that it is supposed to do. Perhaps a PATH issue or a registry setting? Power BI is detecting my R installations somehow but it does not detect R installed through Anaconda.
