Error while exporting data in csv file using R script in power bi service

[pankaj1408]

Hi ,

When i am trying to export powerb dataset into a csv file using R script(shown below)

filename="D:\\BIR\\bitest3.csv"
#dataset <- data.frame(Id, Name)
# dataset <- unique(dataset)
write.csv(dataset,filename)
 
I am able to generate file when i run power bi desktop but when i try to run the same file using power bi services 
i am getting permission denied error, we have tried give all the permission to this folder, file etc.
We have checked gateway dataconnection setting as well, everything is working fine.
PFB error message from power bi services.
 
Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) : cannot open file 'D:\BIR\bitest3.csv': Permission denied

here is my r script, 

# 'dataset' holds the input data for this script
output <- as.data.frame(dataset)

currentDate <- Sys.Date()
csvFileName <- paste("C:/Users/
WIP1_", currentDate, ".csv", sep="")

write.csv(dataset,
file = csvFileName, sep=",",
row.names=F)

Hi @pankaj1408 ,

For security/permission reasons, you can't execute r script(power bi service side) to loading external data source or do export/import operations on specific path.

@Xiaoxin,

In my case I have a dataset created from dataflow and R script to export it to CSV, upload it to SharePoint. This works fine on Power Bi desktop. Are you saying this will not work on Power BI services due to security reasons ?
