Error in running an R script in Power Query

Hello,

 

I am trying to follow the example in Microsoft website

Using R in Query Editor

 

I have installed R 3.5.1 and latest RStudio.

I have installed the "mice" package.

I have loaded the file EuStockMarkets_NA and from within Power Query inserted the "Run R Script" step.

I have copied and pasted the code in the example and while running it, got an error message, :

 

DataSource.Error: ADO.NET: R script error.
Loading required package: lattice

Attaching package: 'mice'

The following objects are masked from 'package:base':

cbind, rbind

Error in parse(text = x, keep.source = FALSE) :.........

 

Please find the file in this link: Running R script error

 

Thank you for the help,

Regards,

Tamir

I found the problem...

 

The script in the Microsoft Demo should have an extra line to set the dataset parameter

dataset <- read.csv(file="C:/Users/user/Google Drive/PowerPivot Power BI/EuStockMarkets_NA.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",")
