Random Forest with R on power BI

Hello Everyone,

 

I am completely new to data modelling and i have to run a Random Forest on power Bi from an excel data set and using R, but I have no idea how to do that... If anyone can help that would really save my day ! 

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Naomi

@Anonymous Well let's see.

  1. Get Power BI Desktop
  2. Download RStudio
  3. Configure Power BI to use RStudio or R Open. Download the RStudio IDE - RStudio Welcome to MRAN . MRAN (microsoft.com)
  4. Use an R step in your Power Query Editor or use an R visual: randomForest function - RDocumentation
  5. Probably going to have to install certain packages

Or, you can use Azure ML to build your ML model and you can then connect Power BI to it in Query Editor.
