Request new R packages: Flextable and Officer

I would like to request support for Flextable and Officer R packages in Power BI Service:

The flextable package provides a framework to easily create tables for reporting and publications. Functions are provided to let users create tables, modify and format their content, and define their content.

Tables can be embedded within:

  • R Markdown documents with support for HTML, Word, PDF and PowerPoint documents.
  • Microsoft Word or PowerPoint documents with package Officer.

Tables can also be rendered as R plots or graphic files (png, pdf and jpeg).

 

The officer package lets R users manipulate Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (*.pptx) documents. In short, one can add images, tables and text into documents from R. An initial document can be provided; contents, styles and properties of the original document will then be available. It also supports the writing of ‘RTF’ documents.

Hi @cmt 

 

Your idea makes sense. I'll vote for you. Hopefully this will be possible in a future release.

 

Best Regards,
