Get data from RDATA file

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

Can't you just load it in your r script step?

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

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-r-in-query-editor

 

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

 

 

Best Regards,
