Solved: Real time Interaction With R

Swetha · ‎08-02-2016

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

@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.
