custom connector R

Hello Guys, 

 

is it possible to use R in Custom Connector? Should I install R into VS? 2018-02-19 09_57_50-Custom Connector - Microsoft Visual Studio.png

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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?
