Tomaz Kastrun looks at several methods for using RevoScaleR packages in a Power BI dashboard:
I was invited to deliver a session for Belgium User Group on SQL Server and R integration. After the session – which we did online using web based Citrix – I got an interesting question: “Is it possible to use RevoScaleR performance computational functions within Power BI?“. My first answer was, a sceptical yes. But I said, that I haven’t used it in this manner yet and that there might be some limitations.
The idea of having the scalable environment and the parallel computational package with all the predictive analytical functions in Power BI is absolutely great. But something tells me, that it will not be that straight forward.
