Edit dataset using R visual

Hi!

i would like to know if we can edit dataset values by using R visual (and not R script in query)

For example : "dataset$values[i]=10" gives"unexpected input" as error

Hi @Paheli,

 

Based on error message, it think you inputted wrong script in r visual.

 

You can try to use below formula to modify specific element from data frame:

dataset[i,"values"] <- 10

Hi @Paheli,

 

According to your screenshots, I found you use '=' to replace '<-', I'm not so sure if character '=' can work as '<-' in r script.

Maybe you can modify it and try again.

Unfortunatley it doesn"t work even with <- or =

Try loading your code in R Studio and debug it there, it will be easier and that will rule out Power BI issues.R-PBI.png

As a solution i plotted my tables on the R visuals it's a little bit limited because i can't select my data.
