Power BI now has R capability - nice! It would be GREAT if the data frame created in the R visualization consol was made available as a field. This would throw open the power of sqldf package - i.e. one could use the R consol to join data frames in whatever way, apply any of the 7000 packages and then that final data frame is made available for use in other visualizations

RE: R data frame available as a field

My interpretation of this is that he wants R console output. R scripts only accepts plots. I very much want R console output too.
