Hi all,
Ever since I did a software update on Power BI Desktop the R-powered Forecasting and Forecasting with ARIMA tools do not work any more.
I have installed all the relevant packages on R Studio but that has not made any difference.
Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks
Bryan
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hm,
I'm using the latest release of Power BI
2.50.4859.502 64-bit (September 2017)
Both visuals work flawless
Have you checked the options, that it points to proper R installation on your Desktop
Regards
Tom
Hey,
