I want to scrape some text out of power bi reports that are published in my workspace server using scrapy.
Does power bi allow scraping?
Can someone point me to resources to get started?
I found a lot of online resources that are around doing scraping in power bi using power query and python but didn't find much on the topic I wanted.
Thanks a lot for the help!

Do some of you have some resources to share in order have a starting point or a package for analyzing and reporting data in Chrome UX report with R?
I know that it's almost a matter of SQL and big-query but any tools to speed up the process will be useful
Thanks
I have included an R Script in a PowerQuery in Power BI to transform data. This works in Power BI Desktop, however when I push to Power BI Server I receive the following error message when looking at the (Enterprise) gateway:
Extension{"extensionDataSourceKind":"R","extensionDataSourcePath":"R"} Cannot be added to gateway
Doing some Googling / looking at the Power BI Community pages suggests that the Enterprise Gateway does not support R Scripts - something to do with it being too memory intensive for Microsoft to want to support running R on the cloud server. But I can find very little concrete documentation on this (more opinion):

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Refresh-R-Scripts-with-Personal-Gateway/m-p/445494#M17917
Has anyone found a solution to this or developed any suitable workarounds? e.g. can the Personal Gateway be used as an alternative or does the Enterprise Gateway support the running of Python Scripts?
I'm keen to hear of any strategies that people have found to running R scripts on the Power BI Service.
You cannot use the enterprise gateway for R Scripts in Power Query. You can use the personal gateway, it will work on that, that is the current work around.
One client I have transforms the data on SQL Server using R Services module, then loads the data from there, that is one possible work around.
I have my SAS datasets on unix server and need to extract them from Tableau Desktop for reporting. They are very large in size and have space issues on my desktop to download them.
Could someone please help me with the steps required in connecting to Unix server?
Thanks,

I have tried Database connection from Tableau, but it didn't work
Tableau can connect to a variety of Statistical files including SAS files. Take a look at this link for more info.
The file from SAS will have to be brought to the local machine on which Tableau Desktop is running.
With regards to space issues, theres not much that Tableau can do to help there. Your Tableau Desktop license allows you to install on two computers - so if one doesn't have enough space - its worth finding another.
Has anyone done a comparison between R connect Server and Power BI. We are trying to work on the benefits of R Connect server over Power BI in order to convince our super strict IT management to go with R Connect Server.
Thank you.
You should figure out what decision variables are important to you. This RStudio thread goes into detail about the benefits, mostly if you are going lightweight it is better. Most likely your users are more technical and want more ability to build powerful tools themselves.
Power BI seems to be better for the Excel "power" users. It does not handle large datasets well, and most likely this is for a non-technical crowd.
Consider the end users before all else, then work backward from there.
Does anyone have any idea about any songCatcher library for Linux? songCatcher is based on the acoustic fingerprints.
I managed to find one "Audio-Ofa-Util-0.04" but I'm facing problem in using it. Or if someone can help me understand its usage.
Like: > how can I pass an audio file to this tool.
Any specific command for its usage etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bobby
