Hi,

 

I am fairly new to Power BI and don't know a lot about R scripting yet. I downloaded the file, but it gives me an error in the left visual: there is no package called 'scales'. I also downloaded the R script that I assume installs these packages. But how do I run the script to create them?

 

I am using C:\Program Files\Microsoft\MRO-3.3.2 as my home directory and Visual Studio 2015 as my R IDE.

I ran into this same problem initially.  What you have to do to fix:

Update R for Windows from the R Script command line:

if(!require(installr)) {
install.packages("installr"); require(installr))

It will tell you you're using 3.3.2, but the latest version is 3.3.3.  To update, run this command:

 

updateR()

Then open MRO 3.3.3 and load the scales package:

 

This should install the zoo and forecast package for you, but if it doesn't manually install these packages from the screenshot above.
