I'm trying to import data via a simple R script that appends some API call results to a local CSV. It executes perfectly in RStudio. However, I get an interesting error when I try it in Power BI:
This persists even after retrying the connection. Is anyone aware of what causes this and/or how to address it?
After a few hours of debugging I found out that my Data Frames had empty rows AND empty columns.
I got rid of BOTH and it worked.
No more "EMPTYTAIL" msg.
