Create table with R Script in Power Query

I'm using R package "cluster" in Power BI to cluster customers from their historical transactions.

 

My data looks like this:

enter image description here

Using Run R-Script command in Power Query Editor, I have the following code:

library(cluster)
k.means.fit_log <- kmeans(dataset[2:4], 3)
output<-dataset output$cluster <- k.means.fit_log$cluster

After this code is executed, I get an additional column with the number of the cluster and all looks good.

 

However, k.means.fit_log is a list with 9 rows, that contains the cluster centers, size, etc. so I'd like to be able to create another table or tables in Power BI with the contents of that object.

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

@v-chuncz-msft sure I know only R dataframes can be used in Power BI.

 

I could add the following to my R code above:

 

x<- as.data.frame(k.means.fit_log$centers)

This returns a 3*3 dataframe.

 

The question is how to export this dataframe to a another table using Power Query?
