Power BI Auto-refresh with R scripts

[bcohen]

I've read several articles on this topic, and it seems that R scripts are NOT SUPPORTED by the PBI Data Flow. Thus, is it seems that auto-refreshing R-dependent datasets is NOT POSSIBLE with PowerBI.

My question: is it possible auto-refresh a PBI solution that uses an R-script to get/read data? If so, how is this done on a Personal Gateway?

Thanks!

Hi, @bcohen 

To schedule refresh of your R visuals or dataset, you need enable scheduled refresh and install an on-premises data gateway (personal mode) on the computer containing the workbook and R.

Please refer to the following links for specific steps.

Use R in Power Query Editor 

Use personal gateways in Power BI
