Import/Modify Power BI Dataset using R

Hi,

 

How can I Import/Modify Power BI Dataset using R?

using the Get data to get power BI dataset does not allow any modification on the dataset, so I was thinking using R to do all the changes and cleaning.

 

is it possible to do this? 

 

Thank you all.

@inawab , modification to the dataset should be done in source dataset, you can use restapi, cmdlets and XMLAend point
