Export files R script online

Hi,

 

I'm working on a project that creates a map in the R script and shows it in Power BI. This is working, now I need to export the shape and the raster of this map. I create the files, but I can't find a way to make it available to the user through the online service.

 

Can anyone help me export these files through the online service?

 

Note: Power Bi does not support google drive package and does not have permission to access the local directory.

 

Thanks!!

Hi @edgarancioto ,

 

As far as I know,  I do not think that it is currently possible.

If you need the source shapefile I would suggest create a hyperlink in the report to share this source file?

"and shows it in Power BI"  - where? In an R visual?  in a custom visual?  When you click the three dots on that visual, do you have the option to "export data" ?

Its a custom visual, but the data to export, isn't the data of the visual.

I need export files generated by the R logic (.shp).
