Using Plot_ly with R in Power BI Desktop
I belive that you have to create a custom visual to make use of plotly and htmlwidgets.
Its a bit more work but the results are now more interactive.

Hi, this is really embarassing to say the least. Last week the solution seems to work. All the R packaged as instructed in the second link worked. However opening Power BI today I got the same error message. I am not sure is it because cran.usr-project.org website blocked by our IT department.
I actually sorted this out. I have installed R from this site. https://cran.r-project.org/ (R for windows). This worked. Probabaly all the above and this final step helped.
