Unable to connect: CLOSXP

Hi,

I was trying to create a new RDATA source for my PowerBI dashboard. The problem appears specifically with the RDATA file I am using. I really couldn't make anything out of it, checked online and couldn't find anything as well. I rebooted, tried to change the content of the file, didn't work, just the error below is showing:

How can I solve this issue?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Yes, I was using the R script option. I was able to do it with other R data files in the same folder. Turns out there was something inconsistent with the directory. Even though I was using the same directory with other files, I changed the location of the RDATA file I needed, and it worked.

Hi, @Anonymous 
What connector are you currently using to connect directly to the rdata file?

Have you try using R script to import data into Power BI Desktop?
