Power BI And R

. Here’s how Power BI and R can work together:

1. R Visualizations: Power BI allows you to create custom visualizations using R scripts. You can use R’s extensive library of packages to create specialized charts and graphs that may not be available in the standard Power BI visuals. R visuals are rendered within your Power BI report and can interact with other visuals on the same page.

2. Data Transformation: You can use R scripts to perform data transformations and cleansing within Power BI’s Power Query Editor. This allows you to clean, reshape, or enrich your data using R functions before loading it into your Power BI data model.

3. Advanced Analytics: R is well-known for its advanced statistical and machine learning capabilities. By integrating R into Power BI, you can perform complex statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and machine learning on your data. You can use R scripts to create predictive models and then visualize the results in Power BI.

4. Custom Calculations: R integration allows you to create custom calculated columns or measures using R scripts. This is particularly useful when you need to apply specialized algorithms or calculations that are not achievable with Power BI’s built-in DAX language.

5. Parameterized R Scripts: You can parameterize R scripts in Power BI, allowing you to create dynamic visualizations or calculations that respond to user input or slicer selections.
