R / Python interface for PBI

[thiamhuat2026]

I notice in the PBI for Desktop, there is R and Python interface. But the web version of Power BI from Fabric, there is nothing of R and Python interface. How do we enable the feature of that R and Python interface in the web version of PBI?

You can only create or edit Python and R visuals from Power BI Desktop. At this moment it is not possible to author them from Power BI service 

Do note that not all python and r packages are supported in service, you can find the list in the below pages

Hi @thiamhuat2026 

Python visual in the service supported only in Fabric regions. It means reports published to workspaces display Python chart visual when the workspace has Fabric license, a Pro or PPU license, or a premium license and the PBI home tenant is in a region with Fabric Spark workload availability this information given by Microsoft from the documentation.
