Section 1: Best Practices for Using R and Python in Power BI

The first thing to know when approaching analytic languages in Power BI is where you can use them within Power BI, and then what limitations on their use are imposed by Power BI itself. At that point, knowing which analytical language engines and integrated development environments to install, how to properly configure them with Power BI products, and their limitations is the next step in starting to use them properly. This section guides you through all of this in a simple and efficient manner.

This section comprises the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Where and How to Use R and Python Scripts in Power BI
• Chapter 2, Configuring R with Power BI
• Chapter 3, Configuring Python with Power BI
