GGpairs() doesn't work in PowerBI, is there a workaround?

[negodfre]

Question: Is there a work around for the "make_ggmatrix_plot__obj" error shown below using the versions of GGally, ggplot2, & plotly required in powerbi?

Error:

Background: I am creating a custom R visual that is interactive (hence plotly). Powerbi is restricted to the versions mentioned below. A known error for "GGally" was identified where this error would occur. It goes away in later versions of "GGally", but because powerbi doesn't support those I am looking for a workaround. 

Note: I did install later versions and everything would work fine on PowerBI Desktop, but the error would appear in the report on powerbi.com. I did some print statements to find that the packages PowerBI supports are just those exact versions.

Issue in Early Version of "GGally" can be found here: https://github.com/ggobi/ggally/issues/264

I tried the following workaround, but it didn't work for me, found within here: https://github.com/ggobi/ggally/issues/263

Details: I have to use the following versions per powerbi:

GGally version 1.3.2 ggplot2 version 3.3.5 plotly version 4.9.2.2

Note: versions supported by powerbi: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/service-r-packages-support

Hi, 

According to your description, I’ve searched the internal ICM portal but can’t find a similar issue related to this kind of issue in the R visual.

In my opinion, if you want to get a workaround for this kind of custom visual problem as soon as possible, I suggest you to open a support ticket to get the opinions from the technical support team of Microsoft.
