Hello BI developers,
I came across a strage situation which does not make sense. I am sure I am doing somethign wrong but I cannot figure it out. I have a dataset (very huge) and need to do some visulisation. I need to some part in R to make the life easier, but the outputs are different even for the simpleset scanrio which is counting the rows. I have added an Index (auto increment) from Power BI to avoid any possible removal of duplicate rows.
All the values in the R script have "Don't summarize", but still the values (the count) are different. Please see the screenshots. If you need more information please let me know.
library(sqldf)
library(ggplot2)
options(scipen=999)
datas=sqldf("select count() as tc, Year from dataset group by Year ")
ggplot(datas, aes(x = Year, y = tc)) + geom_line()
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @mohsenhs82,
I can reproduce the same result. But I'm afraid this is a limitation of R visual in Power BI. Please refer to desktop-r-visuals#known-limitations. If I reduce the size of data to less than 150000, it's good.
Best Regards,
Dale

Thank you Dale,
I see, when I plotted the total number of rows in my R scipt I saw 150k. I was suprised as I have millions of records. so this is the limitation. what a shame, but at least I know, and thanks for the link too.
Thanks
