R with Power BI

[svarghese]

I am trying to execute a R script within the Rvisual in PowerBI. I have written a small script , but when i try and run it, i get the error:

Microsoft.PowerBI.ExploreServiceCommon.ScriptHandlerException: R script error.

Fatal error: cannot open file 'RScriptWrapper.R': Permission denied

I have set the R home as "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.3.3" and Rstudio as the IDE.

Pleas elet me know what else needs to be done

Hi @svarghese,

You could paste the code in the editor directly as the snapshot below shows. 

Best Regards,

Update: Resolved. 

The issue was because of mcafee antivirus causing some permisson issues between powerBi and R

I have a similar issue with permission being denied to 'RScriptWrapper.R', possibly due to mcafee.  Any suggestions on how you solved this?

You can check event logs in your antivirus software to consider allowing certain files (RScript.exe) to execute scripts. 
Or you could try publishing to the Power BI service, which worked for me.
