Issue with displaying a plotly R script in power bi desktop

Hello,

 

I have a R script that I wrote (works in R studio), but it wont display in power bi desktop. I can display the simple ggplot. However, when i convert my graph to a plotly, using the ggplotly() command, and try to show the graph, I get the error:

 

"Can't display this visual. No image was created. The R code didn't result in creation of any visuals. Make sure your R script results in a plot to the R default device."

 

Any thots? 

 

Thanks,

Sean

Hi @SeanLaTulippe,

 

>>"Can't display this visual. No image was created. The R code didn't result in creation of any visuals. Make sure your R script results in a plot to the R default device."

Based on error message, I think current r visual not support to some advanced operation. You should use the base function to instead.

Well, actually PowerBI does support the plotly package. It just doesn't seem to work exactly the same as it might in R Studio or another R IDE.
