Why is my R Plotly visual not displaying in Power BI?

[HamidBee]

On my personal device I have R and RStudio installed. I then opened Power BI Desktop and enabled R scripting (so that I could embed an R visual into the report). Power BI automatically detected that I have R installed.

I then typed the following R code into my R visual in Power BI:

library(plotly)

Animals <- c("giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys")
SF_Zoo <- c(20, 14, 23)
LA_Zoo <- c(12, 18, 29)
data <- data.frame(Animals, SF_Zoo, LA_Zoo)

fig <- plot_ly(data, x = ~Animals, y = ~SF_Zoo, type = 'bar', name = 'SF Zoo')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~LA_Zoo, name = 'LA Zoo')
fig <- fig %>% layout(yaxis = list(title = 'Count'), barmode = 'group')

fig

But it keeps saying 'Can't display this visual':

You can take a look at this blog post. It describes how to add an interactive javascript Plotly Chart in Power BI. It's quite easy. 

Kind regards,

Steve.
