Hi I am trying to build a map that I can connect cordinates and fill in the area. I have had success with Rstudio but would prefer to get the code to work in PowerBi. the Rstudio code I used is
library(dplyr)
library(leaflet)
map<-leaflet(width =500, height= 500) %>%
addTiles() %>%
addPolygons(lng = c(-76.12483,-75.49118,-75.01104,-75.05677,-75.37360,-76.27835,-77.11451,-76.60171,-76.77809,-76.50045,-76.12483), lat=c(38.56060,39.18615,38.64739,37.87028,37.49547,37.17344,37.33463,38.01968,38.34830,38.59635,38.56060)) %>%
addCircles(lng = c(-76), lat= c(38), color ="red",weight = 70 )
map
I am hand writting the cordinates to test but plan on using a datafile instead. The issue I am getting is that Power Bi is reporting that no visual was created, but this produces one in Rstudio. From my understanding, leaflet is supported in PowerBi (according to Learn which R packages are supported - Power BI | Microsoft Learn).
Is there something else I would need to add to the code to get it to show up? Are there better packages for the job? Heck, if there is a good power bi specific solution I would love that. Thanks for your input!
