I was wondering if anyone could help regarding the production of an UpSet plot for an R Custom Visual in Power BI. The code I have written produces the correct graph when run in R open but when I produce the RVisualHtml (after editing the format to get rid of the production of the data frame) it does not produce the desired graph. For some reason, it is ignoring the "axis_combmatrix()" and just producing an ordinary bar graph. I have posted the code and can respond to any queries you have but any help regarding the issue would be greatly appreciated.
