Request R package fUnitRoots

Hello,

 

I would like to request a R package to be supported in R service:

 

fUnitRoots: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/fUnitRoots/index.html

 

Best regards!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

From the document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-r-packages-support, we know the R package fUnitRoots is not supported in Power BI Service currently,

 

The Power BI service supports packages published in CRAN. The service does not support private or custom R packages. Users are encouraged to make their private packages available on CRAN prior to requesting the package be available in the Power BI service.

 

There are a handful of requirements and limitations for R packages:

  • The Power BI service, for the most part, supports R packages with free and open-source software licenses such as GPL-2, GPL-3, MIT+, and so on.
  • The Power BI Desktop has two variations for R packages:
  • For R visuals, you can install any package, including custom R packages
  • For Custom R visuals, only public CRAN packages are supported for auto-installation of the packages
  • For security and privacy reasons, R packages that provide client-server queries over the World-Wide Web (such as RgoogleMaps) in the service, are not supported. Networking is blocked for such attempts. See the following section for a list of supported and unsupported R packages.
  • The approval process for including a new R package has a tree of dependencies; some dependencies required to be installed in the service cannot be supported.

Best Regards,

Amy
