Reach for an R visual only when all of the following hold:
If interactivity or cross-filtering matters, use Deneb (a static PNG cannot be a selection source). If the need is a small inline mark (sparkline, bar, status pill), use an SVG measure (no row cap, no timeout, no licensing/region gate, renders under publish-to-web). The script visual's niche is narrow: compute-at-render statistical plots for internal or org consumption.
R vs Python once a script visual is the right call: use R for publication-quality statistical defaults and packages with no Python peer (forecast, corrplot, pheatmap, ridgeline/violin). Use Python when the computation leans on scikit-learn, statsmodels, or scipy, or when surrounding report logic is already Python. Where equal, default to whichever language the report's other scripts use; mixing doubles the publish-time package surface to validate.
Do not default to a script visual because a chart type "looks statistical." A box plot, lollipop, or dumbbell is an SVG-measure or Deneb job; reserve scripts for charts that genuinely compute.

# R Visuals in Power BI (PBIR)
> **Use `pbir` for every report mutation.** Read PBIR metadata only for diagnosis. If `pbir` is
> unavailable or lacks an operation, stop and report the gap; never edit report JSON directly.
R visuals execute R scripts (primarily ggplot2) to render static PNG images on the Power BI canvas. **ggplot2 is the preferred library** -- its grammar of graphics approach produces clean, publication-quality statistical visualizations with less code. R is particularly strong for statistical visualizations.
## Visual Identity
- **visualType:** `scriptVisual`
- **Data role:** `Values` (columns and measures, multiple allowed)
- **Data variable:** `dataset` (data.frame, auto-injected)
- **Row limit:** 150,000 rows
- **Output:** Static PNG at 72 DPI -- no interactivity
## Workflow: Creating an R Visual
### Step 1: Add the Visual
```bash
pbir add visual scriptVisual "Report.Report/Page.Page" --name RevenueByDateR \
--data "Values:Sales.Date" --data "Values:Sales.Revenue"
```
### Step 2: Write the Script
```r
library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(dataset, aes(x=Date, y=Sales)) +
geom_col(fill="#5B8DBE") +
theme_minimal(base_size=12) +
theme(panel.grid.major.x=element_blank())
print(p) # MANDATORY for ggplot2
```
Critical rules:
- `print(p)` is **mandatory** for ggplot2 objects -- they do not auto-display in Power BI
- `dataset` is auto-injected as a data.frame; do not create it
- Access columns by index (`dataset[,1]`) to avoid name escaping issues
- Use backticks for column names with spaces: `` dataset$`Order Lines` ``
### Step 2b: Review
Before presenting the script to the user, dispatch the `r-reviewer` agent to validate correctness and provide design feedback.
### Step 3: Inject the Script
```bash
pbir visuals r "Report.Report/Page.Page/RevenueByDateR.Visual" --script-file chart.r
```
The CLI handles PBIR string escaping.
### Step 4: Validate
```bash
pbir visuals bind "Report.Report/Page.Page/RevenueByDateR.Visual" --show
pbir validate "Report.Report" --all
```
## PBIR Format
For read-only diagnosis, scripts are stored in `visual.objects.script[0].properties`:
```json
{
"source": {"expr": {"Literal": {"Value": "'library(ggplot2)\\n...\\nprint(p)'"}}},
"provider": {"expr": {"Literal": {"Value": "'R'"}}}
}
```
Identical structure to Python visuals except `visualType` is `scriptVisual` and `provider` is `'R'`.

### Desktop
Any locally installed R package works without restriction. R must be installed separately.
## Best Practices
1. **Always call `print(p)`** -- ggplot2 objects require explicit printing
2. **Guard against empty data** -- `if (nrow(dataset) == 0) { plot.new(); text(0.5, 0.5, "No data") }`
3. **Use index-based column access** -- `dataset[,1]` avoids name escaping issues
4. **Use `theme_minimal()`** -- clean aesthetic that works well with Power BI
5. **Factor categorical variables** -- control sort order explicitly with `factor()`
6. **Use hex colors** matching the report theme
7. **Set margins** -- `plot.margin=margin(t, r, b, l)` to prevent clipping
8. **Keep scripts concise** -- 5-min timeout Desktop, 1-min Service
## Limitations
| Constraint | Desktop | Service |
|------------|---------|---------|
| Output | Static PNG, 72 DPI | Static PNG, 72 DPI |
| Timeout | 5 minutes | 1 minute |
| Row limit | 150,000 | 150,000 |
| Output size | 2 MB | 30 MB |
| Networking | Unrestricted | Blocked |
| Gateway | Personal only | Personal only |
| Cross-filter FROM | Not supported | Not supported |
| Receive cross-filter | Yes | Yes |
| Publish to web | Not supported | Not supported |
| Embed (app-owns-data) | Not supported | Not supported |
## Script Structure Template
```r
library(ggplot2)
# 1. Guard against empty data
if (nrow(dataset) == 0) {
plot.new()
text(0.5, 0.5, "No data available", cex=1.5)
} else {
# 2. Data preparation (index-based access)
df <- data.frame(
category = dataset[,1],
value = dataset[,2]
)
# 3. Create visualization
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x=reorder(category, -value), y=value)) +
geom_col(fill="#5B8DBE", width=0.7) +
theme_minimal(base_size=12) +
theme(
panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(),
axis.title = element_blank()
)
# 4. Render
print(p)
}
```
## R vs Python Syntax Reference
For the language-choice decision, see the "When to Use a Script Visual" section above. This table covers only mechanical syntax differences for scripts already committed to R:
| Aspect | R (`scriptVisual`) | Python (`pythonVisual`) |
|--------|-------|--------|
| Render call | `print(p)` | `plt.show()` |
| Column access | `dataset[,1]` or `dataset$col` | `dataset.iloc[:,0]` or `dataset["col"]` |
| Empty guard | `if (nrow(dataset) == 0)` | `if len(dataset) == 0:` |
| Factor/category order | `factor(x, levels=...)` | `pd.Categorical(x, categories=...)` |
| Runtime (Service) | R 4.3.3 | Python 3.11 |
## When to Use a Script Visual
Reach for an R visual only when **all** of the following hold:
- The chart has no native equivalent and no reasonable Deneb spec
- The value is in a statistical computation that must run at render time (model fit, kernel density, forecast band), not just a shape Vega could draw
- The visual does not need to be a cross-filter source, hover tooltips, publish-to-web, or app-owns-data embed
- The report is served in a Pro/PPU or higher capacity with a Fabric-enabled region
If interactivity or cross-filtering matters, use **Deneb** (a static PNG cannot be a selection source). If the need is a small inline mark (sparkline, bar, status pill), use an **SVG measure** (no row cap, no timeout, no licensing/region gate, renders under publish-to-web). The script visual's niche is narrow: compute-at-render statistical plots for internal or org consumption.
**R vs Python once a script visual is the right call:** use R for publication-quality statistical defaults and packages with no Python peer (`forecast`, `corrplot`, `pheatmap`, ridgeline/violin). Use Python when the computation leans on scikit-learn, statsmodels, or scipy, or when surrounding report logic is already Python. Where equal, default to whichever language the report's other scripts use; mixing doubles the publish-time package surface to validate.
Do not default to a script visual because a chart type "looks statistical." A box plot, lollipop, or dumbbell is an SVG-measure or Deneb job; reserve scripts for charts that genuinely compute.
