My feedback

  1. Add "Run R Script" option to Excel 2016 and Excel 2013 "Power Query" add-in, as it is for Power BI.

    Hi folks,

    Thanks for your passion around this. We’ve been discussing this item off and on for some time now and we’d love to get your input.

    The reason we’ve resisted this is because the R runtime & various packages (and updating their versions) aren’t straightforward for other users to install. This limits sharing such queries across a workgroup.

    What do you think?

    For others reading this that’d like us to prioritize this work, please be sure to add your vote since we’re prioritizing our backlog based on these.

    thanks

    Imke Feldmann: "Wouldn't it be a good start to give us R in Power Query like in the query editor (!!) in Power BI (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-desktop-r-in-query-editor/) ?

    Can well imagine that the integration of plots into Excel is more complicated, but the integration into the M-scripts must be almost straightforward - or am I mistaken here?"
