Solved: R Script connecting to SQL server

DataMiner · ‎07-27-2018

I have a Power BI report which gets data from a R Script. My R script connects to a SQL server, does data transformations and then returns a data frame. So in essence, can an R script connect to a SQL server from inside Power BI? The library I've been using in R to connect to the SQL server is RODBC.

I have a Power BI report and I want to use an R Script as my data source. My R script connects to a SQL server and does data transformations and returns a data frame. Is it possible for Power BI to use my R script. In essence, can Power BI get data from a R script which connects to a SQL server?
