Hi @Tome_05 ,
You can use the R script editor to download the file and then read it in.
Something like this should work:
library(RCurl)
url <- "http://example.com/file.zip"
tempfile <- tempfile()
download.file(url, tempfile)
unzip(tempfile)
This is your chance to engage directly with the engineering team behind Fabric and Power BI. Share your experiences and shape the future.
