Use R functions in Power BI

[nando88]

I was wondering if its possible to use R functions to obtain numeric results in Power BI, with information already imported in Power BI?
I know that there's an option for R script in Power BI, but that is a visual and there is another one but that makes me paste a script that pulls the information previously, and what I want is to use an R script inside Power BI, so that I can create like a calculated column with that script or something similar.
If there is a way to do this in Power BI, please let me know and if you could please guide me in the process, I would be really grateful.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried what was described in the blog, but I need something else, I need to be able to select a column from the query editor, even if its not a csv.

library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
dataX<-data.frame(select(X))|

This is just an example
I just can't figure out how to do this.
Thanks.
