Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make R Custom visuals with plotly and have closely followed the guide outlined here from RADACAD. However, when I imported the custom visual to Power BI, it gave me a blank visual and I do not get any error messages:
Blank visual in Power BI using Iris Dataset
Whereas I expect to see this:
Below is the R script I used (the default when downloading sampleRHTMLVisual):
source('./r_files/flatten_HTML.r')
############### Library Declarations ###############
libraryRequireInstall("ggplot2");
libraryRequireInstall("plotly")
####################################################
################### Actual code ####################
g = qplot(`Petal.Length`, data = iris, fill = `Species`, main = Sys.time());
####################################################
############# Create and save widget ###############
p = ggplotly(g);
internalSaveWidget(p, 'out.html');
####################################################Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Hi @vicente-iii ,
Did you download NodeJS 4.0+ Required (5.0 recommended) from https://nodejs.org/.
Yes, I downloaded from that website. I downloaded the one on the right side (12.6.0 Current)
