DataFormat.Error: We cannot convert this value from its .RData representation

Hello experts,

 

I tried the following code in R Studio which run seamlessly

values<-c(1,2,3,4,5)
df10<-data.frame(values)
S1<-as.list(df10$values)
r<-3
result<-data.frame(combn(S1,r))
result

but the same code returns the following error

DataFormat.Error: We cannot convert this value from its .RData representation.

However, if I alter the code to this in PBI

result<-data.frame(combn(c(1,2,3,4,5),3))
result

it works which means that POWER BI eliminates the possibilites of passing parameters to a R code. Do you know what is the work around to this?

df10<-data.frame(values)
library(dplyr)
df11<-combine(df10$values)
r<-3
result<-data.frame(combn(df11,r))
