Can you Run R scripts in Dataflows ?

[Anonymous]

I have an R script that runs fine in PB desktop.

It would be fantastic to be able to push this into a dataflow.

Has anyone been able to run R scripts in a dataflow  ?

My testing of a simple R query using a web data source indicates that it's not as simple as copying and pasting M code into a dataflow. e.g. 

source <- "https://cdn.rawgit.com/BlueGranite/Microsoft-R-Resources/master/power-bi/gameconsole.csv"  
game.console <- read.csv(source, header = TRUE)

Anyone have any ideas ?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous 

Based on my research, It’s not accessible to run R scripts in Dataflows currently.

It’s preferred to raise your idea in the portal below to bring the feature coming online:
