I'm using R formattable package to render some data frames but the output is html ( it opens the browser after I run the script ).
The thing is I'm trying to render those tables under PowerBI which accepts R scripts but need the output to be an image (like a ggplot) not html. But I don't know how I can do it.
I've looked into R2HTML and htmlwidgets packages but I still didn't find a solution with those. ( I may have made some mistakes ).
Here is the dummy code I'm working with:
library(formattable)
DF <- data.frame(Ticker=c("", "", "", "IBM", "AAPL", "MSFT"),
Name=c("Dow Jones", "S&P 500", "Technology",
"IBM", "Apple", "Microsoft"),
Value=accounting(c(15988.08, 1880.33, NA,
130.00, 97.05, 50.99)),
Change=percent(c(-0.0239, -0.0216, 0.021,
-0.0219, -0.0248, -0.0399)))
DF
## Ticker Name Value Change
## 1 Dow Jones 15,988.08 -2.39%
## 2 S&P 500 1,880.33 -2.16%
## 3 Technology NA 2.10%
## 4 IBM IBM 130.00 -2.19%
## 5 AAPL Apple 97.05 -2.48%
## 6 MSFT Microsoft 50.99 -3.99%
formattable(DF, list(
Name=formatter(
"span",
style = x ~ ifelse(x == "Technology",
style(font.weight = "bold"), NA)),
Value = color_tile("white", "orange")
Change = formatter(
"span",
style = x ~ style(color = ifelse(x < 0 , "red", "green")),
x ~ icontext(ifelse(x < 0, "arrow-down", "arrow-up"), x))))
