Hey all,
I'm trying to do some forcasting and downloaded the custom visual 'Time Series Forecasting Chart'. I subsequently had to download R 3.4.3.
However, when i come to populate the chart i receive the following error. Does anyone have any clues as to why this has gone wrong?
Thank you!

Custom visuals should attempt to install dependencies if they're not available. Not sure why that's not happening for you, but you can manually install the packages it requires by opening R and running the following "install.packages()" command to get all the packages the error message mentions.
install.packages("XML", "htmlwidgets", "ggplot2", "plotly", "scales", "forecast", "zoo")
Hey all,
I need to do some forecasting so downloaded the 'Time series forecasting chart' from the store. I then downloaded R version 3.4.3.0.
However, when i go to use the visual i receive the error below. Does anyone have any idea why?
