Hi
I am relatively new to Data Analysis and Power BI.
My organisation only uses Power BI and Excel for any data analysis. This will not change in the near future.
I am willing to put in the effort to learn Python, R or both over time.
My question; Is it really worth my effort and time?
Guys in a Cube posted a video "Intro To Python In Power BI ". Some of the responses within the comments relate to Python and R being really slow and not having two way interaction with any standard visuals.
Below is a typical response in the comments...
"Python visuals are very slow once the report is published, to slow to be actually used in a report."
Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,
First of all, you have to figure out the features, application scenarios and advantages of R and Phython. For example, R and phython are powerful in data transforming, and we can create custom visuals by using R and Phython. You can read the content in the following links to learn more about R and Phython. After reading it, decide whether it is necessary and worth your time to learn...
