This is a great idea.  If you can get Microsoft to make this package available in the Power BI service that would be fantastic!

    I'd be quite honest with you. I would rather Microsoft give users the ability to upload any package they want to PowerBI.com than having them benefiting my package.

     

    I do believe that the ability to import any package is possible (Microsoft did this for Azure Machine Learning) and I even made a suggestion here.

     

    In fairness unless the R support in Power BI allow for us to use any sort of package we want, then I don't see it taking off (it would be no more than a gimmick). At the moment I tend to use R more in custom reports and web pages, which combines with other BI tools (e.g. Excel reports in SharePoint, Power BI and Tableau). This is where I use Redmonder A LOT.
