Hi All,
I am new to Power BI. I want to know whether Power BI Desktop Dashboards have a real time interaction with R tool.
To be more specific, When user changes an input in dashboard, Can Power BI trigger the corresponding algoirthm in R and display the relevant graphs/results in dashboard in realtime.
Thanks,
Swetha
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Swetha currently you can only use R in power bi to generate R visuals or use R script as data source or run R scripts over imported dataset in query editor. If you're using R visuals then using slicers or filters in power bi does get R visuals to filter accordingly but i don't think it would be possible to trigger algorithm in R.
