Many R packages combine R with JavaScript and output html for a richer, more interactive experience. Add support for interactive R visuals from packages such as htmlwidgets to Power BI. PBI currently requires a static image as output for the R visual.

- otherwise the power of interaction provided by ggplot2 is lost
- All these JavaScript wrapping packages could be supported by allowing html-output of the relevant device (corresponding to the Viewer-pane in RStudio) http://gallery.htmlwidgets.org/
- This could also improve the visualization and migration of current analytics made in libraries like rbokeh or leaflet. Directly from RStudio to PowerBI.
- It would be really very interesting that PowerBI comes out with this feature. For Shiny users, the R visuals still not atractive and it is a huge blockin point to not consider Power BI as the ultimate data Viz tool.
- This, itself, could make PowerBI limitless
- I'd say things like leaflet and ggplotly will be extremely handy and will catapult beyond the likes of tableau or quikview
- I need R visuals to be interactive !! Otherwise I am using custom visual SandDance to look at non-aggregated data to keep the interaction in my graphs
- Agreed. R visual interactivity is essential to our data when drilling is needed within the visual (which is often). Not having this reduces the usefulness of the R custom visuals.
- GoogleVis is openly advertising it will host Shiny apps for free. Microsoft, you have made progress with PowerBI in comparison to other data discovery tools by providing a useful integration capability with R. Don't stop now!
- Interactive R custom visuals are out :) https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/interactive-r-custom-visuals-support-is-here/
