Unable to construct R script data for use in External IDE

HI All, 

 

When I try to select data from 2 different datasources(Tables) PowerBI is unable to take me to the IDE and I get"Unable to construct R script data for use in External IDE"  even though I am using a python script,

however when I only use one datasource it sends me directly  to the IDE I chose.

 

How can I combine different datasets and get to the IDE?

 

Also is there a way to expand or fullscreen the Python IDE in PowerBI Desktop?

Hi santos5950,

I test this in my environment, I choose fields  from two table and click the "Edit script in external IDE", it will show result like below

You could refer to Use an external Python IDE with Power BI for details.
