R script error on a base function

I use a very simple code to bring the surface plot to Power BI:

library(tidyr)
z <- spread(data=dataset[,c("C3", "TPR", "SalesMargin")], key="TPR", value="SalesMargin")
z <- as.matrix(z[,-1] )

persp( z=z )

 

persp() function works well in R. Actually, the only parameter required is the matrix of values, while x and y are automatically calculated in the function call.

Despite any attempts (adding x and y in various variants, and without them as in the example), function call returns the error when executed in Power BI (see details below). Any thoughts? What's wrong in function? I even was unable to find this error message in a source code of base R on my PC.
