Hi there
I have very basic R script that I want to use to hash a string using SHA-1 and base64 encode
Say that my string is HY8&V5EDJO8NYT9C2011-12-13T00:44:02ZTest123, I can write this in R and it outputs my new hash string
a = base64enc::base64encode(digest::digest("HY8&V5EDJO8NYT9C2011-12-13T00:44:02ZTest123", algo = "sha1", raw = T, serialize = F))
I want to convert this into function in PowerBI - please could you tell me what I need to do to acheive this?
Thank you so much

Hi @Pedzilla,
I haven't found anything about directly invoke function which written in R script, you can try ImkeF's point of view if it works for you.
In addition, you can write a function which use to call the local R script, for example(load local R script and execute it)
let LoadLocalRScript = (file_path as text) as table => let Source = Csv.Document(File.Contents(file_path),[Delimiter=#(lf), Columns=1, Encoding=1252, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]), RScript = Text.Combine(Source[Column1], "#(lf)"), output = R.Execute(RScript) in output in LoadLocalRScript
For detial information, you can refer to below link:

In the Query Editor, you should be able to add an R Script step. It is the last icon on the right in the Query Editor.

I don't know of any possibility for M to create hash strings.
But you can run your R-script in the Query Editor instead: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-r-in-query-editor/

@ImkeF hi there yes thats what I was getting at - if M could somehow "M" an "R" function 🙂 It would be cool actually
