How to read / import a SAS dataset from a remote server using Microsoft R Open and then use it in PB
Hello,
I would like to know how to connect to a remote Server using R then read/import a SAS dataset in Power BI.
Up to now I was able to read a sas dataset hosted on my pc but not on our unix server.
How to do that ?

Hi Anonymous ，
1.Ensure that you have access to the CONNECT remote desktop service
2.Submit a request to have Power BI desktop added to your apps and wait for this to be fulfilled. We suggest the following details:
Please grant me access to the PowerBI desktop app in the CONNECT remote desktop service (add to AD Group RAPP-RA-Power BI Desktop)
3.Login to the CONNECT remote desktop service, select Power BI Desktop from your desktop icons to download the installer package. Save and open / run the downloaded file, confirming any prompts
4.When asked to sign in, enter your username in the format CONNECT\abcd1234 and your CONNECT password.https://help.it.ox.ac.uk/power-bi-connecting-to-power-bi-desktop-via-remote-desktop-connection
