R script visual not displaying correctly after PowerBI report published

I created an R script visual in my PowerBI report using PowerBI Desktop. The visual displays correctly on my end, but when I publish the report to my workspace, I get the following error:

 

Other community posts suggested I might be using the wrong version of R, so I installed R 3.4.4, changed default R installation in PowerBI, and tried that. It hasn't worked because my visual uses tidyverse, and I haven't been able to install tidyverse in R 3.4.4 (I tried with the default install.packages command as well as pointing to a tar.gz file in tidyverse archive - tried version 1.2.1 and 1.3.0).

 

Is there a trick to making R script visuals work after file is published?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I think this can be closed now - I found a solution. After installing R 3.4.4, I manually installed all the requirements for tidyverse 1.2.1, after which I could install tidyverse 1.2.1 and use it in PowerBI. Image is now displaying correctly after publishing.

    Hi, marta1706 

    You can visit the following link and download version 4.4.1 to install the tidyverse properly in Rstudio.

    Download R-4.4.1 for Windows. The R-project for statistical computing.

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      Thanks. I know I can do that - it's what resulted in the error message I screenshot in my post. I only tried R 3.4.4 later, because Microsoft say that this is the highest version of R compatible with PowerBI: see here.

       

      Is there anything else I can do? Has anyone else had this problem?

        Hi, marta1706 

        Ok, I know it, what R code you used in PBI Desktop, you can share it and we will test to find suitable solutions.
