How to use parameter /variable value in R Visual from custom visual of Power BI ?

 Hi Team , 

 

I have a requirement of developing visuals using R language . whereas ,I need to use the slicer value of power BI  as a input variable for visual  in R .Do we have any way to store that slicer value  of power BI for further usage in R.

 

Thanks,

Venkat.

Hi @venkatmar,

 

In R script, all the datasource calculations happen during the dataset Refresh, not dynamically in response to slicers and other filters. Currently, it doesn't support to execute R script within R visual dynamically based on selection in slicer.
