    Hi there

    Thats the bit that I am confused.

    It is not a custom visual - its an R script called Network3D which I apply to visualise my dashboard but it doesnt seem to work however according to the link it is supported.

     

    Unless the article refers to the developers who want to develop R custom visuals?

      Anonymous its not a custom visual in R, but its a custom visual in Power BI.  can you not download it from the store?  what i am saying have you downloaded the visual you need from the store?

        Hi there

         

        so this paragraph of the article mentions:

         

        For Power BI Desktop has two variations for R packages:

        • For R visuals, you can install any package, including custom R packages
        • For Custom R visuals, only public CRAN packages are supported for auto-installation of the packages

        So I have the right package installed (as i could run the sample successfully in RStudio)

        However when i do this in desktop i got the error message.

         

        There is no R custom visual Network3D to download from office store.

         

        I downloaded other R custom visuals in the past and it worked fine e.g corrplot, decision tree fancyplot etc...

         

        I just wonder if I have to develop Network3D of my own and import it as custom visual for this to work?

         

        Hope this makes sense?


        Many thanks
