R Visual issue- Visual Can not be rendered

[VanillaNitroPep]

I am encountering an issue with my R visual. It works perfectly fine on my desktop—there are no errors in the R script, and the dataset is relatively small (just 505 rows). However, after publishing, the visual fails to render, displaying a "cannot be rendered" message.

I have thoroughly searched online for solutions but have not found anything helpful. Since the script itself runs without errors locally, I am uncertain what could be causing the rendering failure after publication. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @VanillaNitroPep,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Additionally, thank you to @Deku, for his input regarding this issue. I have identified several alternative workarounds that may assist in resolving the thread.

Based on the error message and the information you've provided, it appears you are encountering a known limitation with R visuals in Power BI Service, particularly when using DoD or US Government cloud tenants (as indicated by your .mil cluster URI). Please consider the following key points.

Potential Cause: The Power BI Service, particularly in GCC High or DoD environments, frequently does not support R visuals due to security restrictions. Even in supported environments, only a limited number of R packages are available. Furthermore, R scripts in the Power BI Service are subject to a 20-second execution timeout.

Please confirm with your Power BI administrator if R visuals are permitted in your tenant. If they are: Use only supported R packages (such as ggplot2, dplyr, scales) and simplify your R script to execute within 20 seconds.

If R visuals are not supported: As an alternative, export your R visual as a static image (PNG) using a tool like RStudio and embed it in Power BI using the Image visual.
