PowerBI - R Integration

Hello, 

 

I should develop a PBI app that is used by the user to selected a subset of data and input it in a custom R model.

So basically what should happen:

1) User access to a table where he can select with values he wants to input in the R model.

2) Click on something like "Launch Model" that sends the selected row to the R model to be processed. The resulting file is a csv saved on a folder (or on a DB).

 

I was thinking to use R Visual to perform the "take subset+run model" part, but this leads to several limitations, such as max row, timeout and only some library available. 

Is there any other way to perform this task to select a subset and run it in a R model through a button o something similar? Maybe API, but I'm not really into the topic (considering the app will be deployed on PBRS, that has some limitations on this part)... 

 

Any help appreciated!

Best regards,

Cla
