Can Power BI use R and R Studio from Anaconda?

[lucianosb]

Is it possible to use Power BI with the R and R Studio that comes with Anaconda data science platform? 

I tried to point the R installation to C:\Users\my_user\Anaconda3\R but I get an error that prompts me to verify if R is installed correctly whenever I try to run a R Visual.

hey i am having the same problem , powerBI is not able to detect my anaconda R installation even after giving the path. Did you solve this issue??

Are you referring to this?

https://anaconda.org/r/rstudio

And what installer did you use?

[lucianosb]

Yes, that one!

I'm using the full Anaconda 4.3 distribution, with Python 3, and installed R Studio through the Anaconda Navigator.

I was able to replicate that. Strange.

I ended up installing R regularly on my machine and it worked as it should. However, when I switch to the Anaconda R through the Power BI Settings, I still get that error.

Perhaps I should fill this as an issue?

[Greg_Deckler]

You could, but I am wondering if when installing R through Anaconda it isn't doing something that it is supposed to do. Perhaps a PATH issue or a registry setting? Power BI is detecting my R installations somehow but it does not detect R installed through Anaconda.
