Power BI needs the ability to pass parameter values to custom R visuals (not the visuals in the store, but actual R coded visuals). For example, it would be nice to let end users decide binwidth, breaks, and scales for a geom_histogram with parameter slicers.

How does Microsoft offer a R integration in the application without supporting it in the online Service? How are we supposed to share our reports made in R via web or app? The Waterfall chart is a very important tool to identify losses. Very disappointed.

Complementing ... I made a treadmill chart in R with a 10-line date frame, and when it is published in the service it gives a memory mismatch error. My complete dataset has less than 15K lines.

Of the two, it could be at least one. Support R's visuals in Power Bi, or increase the range of graphics options natively offered in the tool, which already is spectacular, but not completely customizable, like was in Excel.

Same support for Python as well.
