Re: custom connector R

AnnaAliera · ‎02-19-2018

Hello Guys,

is it possible to use R in Custom Connector? Should I install R into VS?

I need the functions "HMAC SHA-512" and "Base64" for the Custom Connetor.

Thanks for your support.

warm regards

Anna

Hi all, has someone any news about the topic?

I have just tried to use R script in order to run a bat file and in my opinion it could be very useful in case we can run the R script in a custom connector.

Thanks,

@AnnaAliera,

You are able to use R.Execute() in Power Query script in Power BI. Please review the following examples, test if the examples work in VS.

R.Execute() the Swiss Army knife of Power Query

Piggybacking off this question, I think the topic is still relevant today. Given that R scripts are only compatible with the personal on-premises data gateway, has anyone solved for adding a custom data connector to enable the enterprise gateway to work with R?
