Hi,
Does anyone know if Power BI can display text output from R code?
Thanks,
Melvin
Hi @Melvvvyyy
I have not found any way to display all the console output of R, but for some cases a good alternative may be to use the grid.arrange function as shown in the picture
I have taken the example of @v-frfei-msft
Hope this can help you.
Regards,
Dani
Hi @Melvvvyyy,
@danielPrieto's way should be a good work around. Could you please accept the answer as a solution to close the case please?

Hi @Melvvvyyy,
Based on my test, we cannot can display text output from R code currently. There is an idea about that, you can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI and make this feature coming sooner.
Also I made a test to get R script from get data, However nothing was displayed.

Frank
