Good morning, I am trying to create a map with power bi r script, I cannot use shiny and I cannot use leaflet either, can you recommend some option to represent a polygon map from the R script, it has to be interactive.
Good morning , and thank for your info. The link is very ussefull.
I have created a map in R with leaflet, and when I load it into Power Bi in R script, I get an error: "no image has been created, the R code has not generated any visual, Please make sure the R script results in a plot on R's default device."
My goal is to load with R, using any library, an interactive map that can click on spatial objects (polygons, points, lines) and return values of their attributes.
Could it be that R Script cannot contain this functionality in Power BI?
Hi @jaimeroncero ,
By default, Power BI Desktop doesn't include, deploy, or install the R engine. To run R scripts in Power BI Desktop, you must separately install R on your local computer.
Then I think you can go to File > Options and settings > Options. Under Global, select R scripting.
If you want to know more about this, I think you can read this document: How to create geographic maps in Power BI using R (sqlshack.com)
