Enabling Data using R Script Power Bi Desktop

Hi Experts

 

I have a sample file with some data, i am trying to tell r to use the data already in Power BI Desktop. If you click on  the R visual in the file (see link below) 

 

i am trying to write a simple R Script but tell R that the two columns i wish to use are (as shown in the R Script) and based on these two column generate the output result into a card/table in Power Bi Desktop.

As error message prompted,  to run R scripts in Power BI Desktop, you must separately install R on your local computer.
