Question

How can I leverage R for advanced statistical analysis within Power BI reports?

I’d like to explore how I can use R for advanced statistical analysis within Power BI reports. Can you explain the process of incorporating R scripts for complex statistical modeling or hypothesis testing, and how it can enhance the analytical capabilities of my Power BI reports?

Answer 1

Leverage R for Advanced Statistical Analysis in Power BI
Select "R" from the Visualizations pane and add an R Visual to your report.
Write your R script for statistical modeling or hypothesis testing within the R script editor, say, for example, linear regression or ANOVA.
Use R packages such as ggplot2, dplyr, or caret to carry out the analysis and make visualizations in the R visual.
Integrate the output back into Power BI to provide more advanced analytical insights and interactive visualizations.
