Hi,
In our company we have several R scripts automated that generate Rdata files as results.
I would like to use these results as dataset in power BI ...
I couldn't find a way to open Rdata file ???
I can see that i can use R Script but i don't want to re generate the Rdata (very long calculation) ... do you know how to directly read the Rdata file as a table? ... to use it as a dataset in powerbi desktop (and manipulate it in query editor)
thanks in advance for your help
regards
I have the exact same problem
But that's right, with load() it is perfectly achieved. Thank you
Hi @LY18
As explained in the below article you can use load() function
https://bookdown.org/ndphillips/YaRrr/rdata-files.html
Use R in Power Query Editor

I don't ting that there is a connector to connect directly to rdata file.
