R and Power BI - Better Together (speaker: Taras Kaduk)

R is one of the leading languages in the world of data science. It has a growing following and many applications, including data transformation, machine learning, statistical modeling, data visualization, web applications, and even building websites.

R is widely used in academia, science and business. Some of the large companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Airbnb, Etsy, Stitch Fix, IBM and Uber use R for data science exclusively, or in tandem with Python.

In this session, we will first look at R separately as a language, followed by use of R within Power BI: how, when and why to resort to it for data transformation, modeling and visualization.
